Oh bugger...

[Scrumpy]

I have just cut through the lead of my hedge cutter... 
I did it last year too.. I can't believe it.. 
I am going out to buy a Euro Millions ticket.. I think my luck is about to change..

Would this be the one you've just ordered a new cover for ?         sorry Scrumps I shouldn't laugh I know.  I got a parking ticket yesterday

Blimey Scrumps,  lucky you didn't get electrocuted!  

[Scrumpy]

It get's even better.. New blade protector  cover came today.. With a bit of 'wellie' I managed to slide it on.. Then when I tried to get it off.. I couldn't..
Workmen next door tried.. It was stuck fast.. They had to cut it off.. 
14 pounds down the drain.. 
I bought two Euro today at the Co-op.. 
I feel lucky..

Parking ticket !!!... Oh dear.. what a shame...

That parking ticket will be more than £14 down the drain.

I don't believe it..
My friend down the road has just phoned me and said she has a spare blade protector guard down her shed..
' As a matter of fact.. I might have two'..
She said they were on hedge cutters that had broken down..She keeps all that sort of stuff.. I'm a ' bin it' person..

You luck has changed did you get those lottery tickets .......

[Scrumpy]

I bought two today...
'This time tomorrow...'
