DH being VU! (Lighthearted)

[thecatsthecats]

So, I tell DH that I've boguht a lottery ticket, and do my usual little spiel about my winnings.

The bastard told me that I haven't won, and won't win! What a git.

I play the lottery for that tiny bit of escapism where you think you've won the lottery. He ruined a whole evening for me once by checking my numbers at 8pm, and letting me know right then I was going to work in the morning.

Now I can't even pretend til Friday. Grr.

Well, someone has to win. Why not you ?

EXACTLY.

People do win. Incredibly unlikely, but then so are the conditions for life on earth!

It's not even like I play often - maybe £10 a year, playing off any small winnings, banking any 'large' ones (aka £42.50).

It's so much harder to play 'when I'm a millionaire' and write fantasy job quitting letters when I'm not going to win the lottery. Bastard.

You’ll have the last laugh when you win and divorce him to jet around the world and send him post cards from tropical destinations saying ‘I told you so’ in various languages.

Wouldn't he get half my winnings though?

I've never factored that into my winner's plan. I like him mostly, I was going to get a clone with all the kinks ironed out. If I could afford it, he could always have the same!

Nope, I checked that out when I split with my ex husband but before the divorce went through to see if it was worth still playing 😂

He doesn’t have to know that though if he is ruining all your fun, you can ruin his too

A friend of mine won multi millions ... So it does happen!

LTB! You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life

I was going to get a clone with all the kinks ironed out

Inspired!!

DH and I occasionally argue about what we'd do with the winnings, I have grand plans for helping out every Tom, Dick and Harry which he vetoes as being impractical or that we'd need to save more ourselves - it turns into a proper sniping match at times. And we've never won so much as a tenner!

You're entitled to have dreams!

Havelock - at least he's playing the game!

I don't even see my £2.50 as gambling. I treat it as experiential. Like going on a rollercoaster or playing with lego.
