Friday 55 Flash Fiction #168 Boring......


This is boring, why did I let her persuade me to do it?


Repetitive - listen, check, mark, listen, check, mark.


Stupid cliches, monotonous, unstimulating.


What am I doing here?


Wait, this could be it....


What was that?


What did he say?


Oh, it's me, me, over here....


I won the jackpot....


BINGO, HOUSE, LOTTO, HERE!







Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

    Oh congratulations! It's been ages since I played bingo and that brought back some memories.

    I told a true story this week.

    Nice one and, yes, you caught me out again!
    I only went to bingo once and went through all those stages.... unfortunately I didn't win so I didn't go back again ;O)

    My grandmother did church bingo and I clearly remember her saying the same things every night she came home after her best friend dropped her off.

    She did win the jackpot once, a toaster.

    It was a couple of weeks ago actually AJ and only £30 but hey it's a win! :)

    I only play when we go to our local club because you have to be quiet whilst everyone else is playing and it's only a couple of games Valerie. It's also nice to win occasionally.

    A toaster for a jackpot prize Beach, that's novel! LOL

    We did Dumdad ;)

    You've never had a Bingo win Bee? Oh that's a shame. x

    Indeed it does Brian :)

    That's great Crystal Jigsaw x

    Thanks Pam. I quite like a game of Bingo occasionally too.

    Bingo can be quite exciting, especially when you're waiting for just ONE number Ron!

    Good morning darling! :) (at least it's morning here. ;) ) I thought it was some guy having to hold his wife's purse at the store while she tried on clothes!! Bingo is MUCH better. I've never played real bingo, but I once won a significant amount on a Bingo Scratch off lotto ticket. I used it to buy Christmas presents.

    How funny, reminds me of a holiday I was on when it rained and we played bingo. I won the top prize. We were on a river cruise on the Moselle Valley and Rhine. The prize? A huge tiger and yes, I brought it all the way back to England and it has pride of place watching out of the main sitting room window!

    I'll not be around for a bit as away on holiday for 2 weeks (Cruise to Norwegian Fjords) and on return have 2 weeks to pack up the house and move - we just hope on our return we have a house to move to as that isn't definite! Wish me luck xxx
