night. We won the money with a lottery ticket that had five out of the six numbers correct. The funny thing is that I didn’t even know Derek had bought the ticket until I heard his shouting coming from the sitting room and I ran in to find out what was wrong with him. It really is a lot of money, but we nearly have it all accounted for already. We still owe a bit of money to the bank from the loan we took out to put Shane through college and we want to pay off the rest of his mortgage for him as well.
