Blowing It
‘I BLEW £1m LOTTO IN YEAR, says the Suns front-page headline in story on waster Wendy Graham.

And back in the Sun theres the news that Wayne Rooney and the chav-tastic Coleen McLoughlin have hired an interior designer to do up their new mansion in Cheshire.
And its not just any designer its flamboyant Laura McCree, who has appeared on BBC TVs Changing Rooms makeover show. (The BBC website quotes McCree: I love being creative in the way that I look and how I live my life…Being normal doesnt come into the equation.)
The paper says that so wacky and cray-zee is McCree that the couple could be in for a shock if they give her free rein on their £3.5million home.
And its not hard to see how the bill could run up and up and up, perhaps all the way to a £1million. What with the houses Burberry cap-style roof and all…’
