Fridays are always a bit strange, everyone winds down for the weekend, so apart from the occasional drama Fridays are pretty relaxed.
I still had my birthday money on me – €150 burning a hole in my pocket, so on a whim, i bought €100’s worth of scratch cards.
50 x €1 and 25 x €2 scratch cards with the pseudo scientific aim of trying to figure out the following:

1) which are more productive – the €1 or the €2 scratchers
2) what’s the percentage return
3) kill half an hour

and:

With the assistance of a lovely assistant (Tricky) we proceeded to spread as much metal foil around.

After 30 mins. scratching like a scabies ridden dog, the following results were obtained:

€1 scratch cards: €25 in cash, and 2 x free cards
€2 scratch cards: €23 in cash, and 2 x free cards
A big pile of foil shavings
Two slightly depressed human beings
An empty bottle of wine (see above)

The experiment will continue until we either win big, or all the scratch cards stop producing cash or cards.
