    I keep watering and fertilising my houses. Still my 3 bed houses haven't grown into 5 beds.

    Willair, this outcome doesn't sound ideal.

    However sometimes the cards dealt out fall where they fall. Maybe driving a taxi was a good outcome for your colleague or friend...

    Was reading the comments on facebook saying they'd pay off the debt they had of their wedding celebration if they won lotto. #facepalm

    I went to my local newsagent just now to buy something. At the same time, another lady was making a purchase. From what I could see she bought a whole lot of lotto numbers and 2 packets of cigarettes. Her purchase totalled over $140.

    Omg... good business for the government there....
