Talking about winning!

My husband took early retirement several years ago, and I started fulltime
temping almost immediately afterwards.

So - I never ever have to fill or empty the dishwasher, as John does all
that.   But, one evening, obviously feeling helpful and kind-hearted, I
filled the dishwasher, put in the little block of soapy stuff, and turned it
on.   The following morning I opened the dishwasher, and thought 'My
goodness - the little silver ball in the middle of the soap tablet didn't
dissolve.' and promptly threw it away.

It was only a week or so later when I actually looked at the packet
containing said soap tablets, and realised that I had probably used - and
thrown away - the silver prizewinning tablet.   The wretched thing was
worth, I think, £5,000.00!    Just think how many bobbins, threads, patterns
and *stuff* I could have bought with that.

Needless to say, I am not allowed anywhere near the dishwasher - ever - but
I have to admit, I have no intentions of going anywhere near it, either.

Best wishes from Carol - in Suffolk, UK, dreaming of her 'wish list' that
never was.
