Of course I just had to go into the Casino if only to say I'd been there. Allowed myself 10 euros to bet with and lost the lot, but remained entertained by the people around me placing bets that made my eyebrows melt in a permanently raised position.Pam Swainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-53144428385163247492016-07-25T13:53:52.320+10:002016-07-25T13:53:52.320+10:00The first thing I ever won was a hand poppet in pr...The first thing I ever won was a hand poppet in primary and had to choose his name and it was Peter.

I know someone who won a first class trip for two to India staying at palaces and so on. They had a ball. But it was the first time they'd flown and they got rather a shock when they had to fly economy after that.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-61029651530405975512016-07-25T07:40:21.420+10:002016-07-25T07:40:21.420+10:00Hi Anna.

I could take it to school and the kids look to see where Australia is in the world. And when I contacted her to thank her, we talked about the seasons and how they were flip flopped on the opposite sides of the equator. Had that to share with my students as well! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-48045618672797310802016-07-25T06:23:54.841+10:002016-07-25T06:23:54.841+10:00I once won $500 on a lottery ticket and won a few ...I once won $500 on a lottery ticket and won a few author contests.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195237609018360678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-69391226078271738242016-07-25T05:21:14.649+10:002016-07-25T05:21:14.649+10:00I've entered many book contests.
