Get lucky!

Picking all those pennies up off the ground must have had an influence on my luck, because I am on a massive run!

First, I won an absolutely beautiful print of the sea at Golden Bay from Mike Hill Photography:

And then today, my name was picked out of the hat from a competition that I entered via Oxford Today and I've won a £65 'flare' saucepan!

I had read about these pans in a magazine somewhere and was really impressed - they take about 40% less energy to cook compared to a normal saucepan due to the heat being channelled up the sides of the pan by the 'flares' in the side. However, given their price and the unlikely possibility that we would have gas cooking back in New Zealand (possible, but not as ubiquitious as it is here in the UK) I dismissed the thought of getting some. But clearly the universe was listening and my I came up trumps!

So, while this is a horribly boasting post, I'm writing it so that hopefully my accumulation of luck gets shared with you all and lots of lovely things start happening to you. And don't forget, see a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck!
