Place Your Bets Please!

On Saturday we had a wild night out at Henlow Greyhound Racing with our fabulous friends - Lola's parents, Michaela & Tony and Louis' parents, Maddy & Justin. As difficult as it was to tear ourselves away from the Eurovision Song Contest, the combined temptation of the three deadly sins - food, alcohol and gambling - was too much to resist. Michaela, very sensibly, stuck to her 50p bets during the 14 races. There were both tears of joy and disappointment on the night, but I think Michaela came out on top during one race, when the odds gave her a return of £1.62. I ended the night with the world-renowned announcement - "I'M DRUNK"

"Boys, you're ruining my close up"

Michaela, having run out of 50p's,
distracts Tony while secretly hunting for his spare change

Maddy tries the same,
but Justin pretends he can't hear her
