Daughter-dear and I did something which was a first for both of us today - we went into a betting shop. Not an unusual first at 18, but it shows what a sheltered life I've led that it was a first for me!
She was putting on her bets for the World Cup. £3 to win on her favourite team - the Czech Republic - yes, you did read that right. And £2 to win on Trinidad and Tobago! As she says, it will give her a really great reason to cheer them on - even if everyone else in the pub is cheering on England! If they actually did win it she would be £2,000 richer. If the Czechs win she will get £99 - enough for a really good night out with her mates.
She says it is all a well-thought out money raiser and entertainment!
I must go and buy her a Czech team shirt on-line - I'll be back later!
