Unlucky in cards.
It was my turn to look into the lavatory in the middle of the night but, embarrassingly, I fear the cause was over-indulgence rather than the tummy bug that has been rampant in our house. Spending the evening eating my way through bowls of chocolates and crisps might have been a contributory factor. But if I'd had a few good hands I wouldn't have folded so early in each round and been forced to relieve my boredom by munching my way through the goodies.
Three times I thought I had a good hand and bidded accordingly - and foolishly as it turned out. I really must make an effort to learn the rules if I am to play again. The one time I did have a winning hand I folded because I thought it wasn't.
We've had three poker evenings now and each time I have been bankrupted. I am either very unlucky or very stupid when it comes to cards.
But Husband and I did win the table football competition! I was in goal for the first game and that was way too stressful so I moved up to the front to attack. This meant I could just lift my legs up and let Husband get on with winning the game.
