With my lovely surprise win, I took my bestie on a holiday Chaya Robertson, 63, Borehamwood, Herts T hrowing a stick across the field, I watched as my little Cairn terrier Tikvah ran after it. Her name means ‘hope’, and my little dog is always there by my side. But she’s not the only one that has been supportive in good and bad times. Looking back now, in February 2019, I wonder what I would have done without my best friend Ruth, 69, over the years. We met more than 30 years ago, when we went to the same synagogue. Ever since that time, we’ve been best buddies I’d decided to do something special for her birthday and we’ve been through so much together.

Ruth has been amazing – whether for a chat, just listening, or being a shoulder to cry on.

Ruth was with me every step of the way, as I slowly recovered from a major operation that I had recently. ‘What would I have done without you?’ I said to Ruth gratefully, afterwards.

Now, I was planning for her 70th birthday in a few weeks time, in March 2019.

Months earlier, I’d decided to do something really special for her. Clothes or perfume didn’t seem enough for such a special friend, on such an important birthday. So I’d put down a deposit for a 10-day holiday to Malta for us both, during her birthday week in March. We were both so excited! Later that day, as little Tikvah relaxed on the rug, I settled down on the sofa and got out my laptop. I enjoyed the odd bingo game on Chat Mag Bingo and decided to put a tenner in my account and play a couple of bingo games in the Sapphire room.

It’s a 90-ball game and a Link game was coming up with a £1,000 Full House. Once my cards had been picked and bought, and the ball calls for the game had started rolling, I nipped into the kitchen to make myself a quick cup of coffee.

Two minutes later, I came back and sat down – and looked at my laptop screen.

There was an extra £1,000 in my bingo account! ‘It can’t be!’ I cried in surprise, as Tikvah looked up at me, startled by all the unexpected excitement. I quickly realised that I’d won the Full House

Thrilled with my win!

We had a great time in Malta

in the Sapphire room. So I grabbed my phone from the side and called Ruth straight away – of course!

Excited, I explained what had happened. ‘You’re kidding!’ she cried in disbelief.

‘I’m taking you away – it’s on me!’ I said to her, grinning like a Cheshire cat down the phone.

‘I’m going to pay for the holiday and there should be plenty left for spending money, too,’ I told her, ‘

At first, Ruth didn’t want me to spend all my win on the holiday, but I insisted.

‘You deserve a decent thank you

Staying in a lovely hotel, we spent hours relaxing on

our balcony and watching the sea across the bay. We had a fabulous time going horse riding and enjoyed a city tour in a beautiful horse-drawn carriage, as well.

Ruth and I had the time of our lives, and made some fabulous memories.

And it’s definitely true what they say – best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier.

It was wonderful to have had a big win.

But to share it with my bestie was the most perfect birthday gift that I could give. Thanks, Chat Mag Bingo!
