Good luck charm-castle, plus weekend away and Tombola fun

Well it seems that dreaming of seaside holidays didn't help me to win the lottery last week...which meant a shiny new charm was in order.

Over the weekend partner and I had a little adventure where we went to Cadbury World

I would rather this over the traditional Christmas dinner!

Getting up there was not fun thanks to very narrow spiral stairs 😵

So glad we had lovely weather while there

and then went to Coombe Abbey for a Medieval banquet and stayed over night!

This bed was so comfortable it was the first time in ages I woke up without an achy back!

It was a lot of fun, and winning the lottery would mean we could do stuff like this more often, and so I decided to base this week's charm on our weekend away, and ended up going for a castle design.

Also over the weekend I decided to use that money I won on Tombola's free deal or no deal game to play a couple scratch cards and slots, mainly sticking to 5p, but also did a couple 10p spins as well, and it went pretty darn well!

First I won on the Explore scratch card

Then I managed to get the bonus on the Detectives slot

Then finally after some good line pays on Lost Kingdom I also got the bonus on there as well

I forgot to take a screenshot when I won, but this is the game I was playing

and finished my evening around £5 up, which I was very pleased with 😄 

I also ended up winning 37p on Tombola this morning, so at some point this week I'll probably play some more games with that.

Who knows, maybe I can turn this 37p into another £5 🤞

So overall a good weekend and a good start to today, so hopefully this luck will carry on through the week with the help of my new charm 🏰

Today very much feels like spring, with blue skies and fluffy clouds dotted around.
