'Friday scratch card' wins pay for afternoon tea treat for Padiham's Vanilla hair salon staff and client

‘Scratch card’ Friday became a little tradition for Anita Jones during her weekly trip to the hair salon.

Each week she would buy a scratch card for herself and one each for stylists Victoria Holland, Jodie Forrest and Skye-Leigh Brown, at Vanilla in Padiham where Anita has been a client for 20 years.

They would scratch them all together and Anita collected the winnings for a treat they could share one day.

The fund grew and this week the winnings paid for an afternoon tea treat with prosecco at Rawes Grazing in Padiham.

Anita said: “It’s the best place to be. I absolutely loved it today, making memories with my second family.”

Jodie added: ““Anita is like one of the family at Vanilla and here’s to many more Friday blow waves, scratch cards and hopefully a few more wins.”
