Love geckos.
.....and Elvis sang about something he lost that was eaten by one
that was called 'In the Gecko'

and the band who sang 'Don't Fear the Reaper' -. Gecko and the Bunnymen.......... there's lots of them about really

finished. PAPERWORK AND PHONE time now for an hour and a half.
I've been having a paperwork day at home today. I've got a terrible habit of not opening letters so spent the day sorting through and filing stuff either in my folders or the recycling bin. Pretty boring - and no surprise letters telling me I'd won the premium bonds or lottery either!

Wifey has been leaping about like a dipsomaniac gazelle and has finally headed off to the supermarket as she reckons the alcohol cave should be open again after Ramadan. Could be a drunken evening ahead.

Do you do the lottery and have premium bonds?

I do have some Premium Bonds so that is a possibility, but stopped doing the Lottery when they raised the price to £2 a line, I do it occasionally but tend to forget about it these days, possible I could have won something in the last 6 months.

Do you know what I don't really know! Had some since I was a kid. I think they are best described as a national raffle! You don't get any interest but every month there is a draw and you could win anything frim £50 to a million.

We have savings bonds. They cost x dollars today, but at maturity they are worth twice as much. usually ten years.
I think our banks and building societies do those too. I think the PBs are now classed as National Savings &Investments and may have been started by the Post Office, When I was a kid if I saved £1 my dad would double it and buy a PB for me and later was left some by an aunt but they just sit there. I did win £50 a long time ago,
