I once wrote here - two years ago - that I won a TV set I gave my mom but several days ago, I won a Samsung voucher for buying another TV :D - I'm going to get a cheap TV set for it, this time for my own bedroom :) My old one isn't failing but is already relatively old - it is going to turn 8 quite soon :) I got it on the same day I started my diary :)

On the same day, I won also a Hebe voucher for a 1000 zlotys - it's a big sum and Hebe is the chain of stores selling cosmetics and other body care products :) Mom and me are going to get those from Hebe for like the whole year for this sum :D 8O

^^^interesting story behind that- for about a decade I played every lottery I could find, and at the end of it all, I figured my rate of return was about 20% of what I invested. I might as well have just thrown that money out the window or burned it.

I enter just Facebook contests (99% cases). Sometimes I play online lotteries - and I did happen to win in those - like my TV set, my Hebe voucher etc. Try entering the FB ones :) Btw, there are so many writing contests as well - do you have a penchant for writing, maybe? :) I entered recently a writing contest - aaand I WON! :D :D :D :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I got a publishing proposal :D

I'll need to start writing a new novel the idea for which... appeared once in my dream 8O Really, seriously. From "a" to "z", I swear. An extremely realistic dream. And additionally, right after the dream ended, I had another one, a dream about people from a publishing house who were talking to each other that this book was going to be a real success 8O I also had once some dream about people who foretold me the future of a famous writer :) It was a very realistic dream, too.

I wonder if the dreams mentioned by me could be prophetic. I also had an extremely realistic dream in which I was told my mom's womb surgery was going to be successful and she was going to get better - and it was indeed like that :)

Like "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley :) And "The Terminator" - I wrote today in some Facebook discussion about dreams that it was this case. James Cameron had a dream about a metal skeleton rising from flames. And everybody remembers that scene from T-800 in its endoskeleton form rising from the flames after the truck exploded. I also wrote once a Peter Pan fanfic based on my dream - you can find it in the link in my profile signature :)
