A tenner saves Sue’s life
Last summer I was so chuffed about planning my holidays. I had been thinking to go to Greece with some of my fav pals and actually we went for a two-weeks holiday in a gorgeous island we fancied at first sight, full of fit guys, caring only about grub and killing the time taking the piss out of each others.
One day my pal Sue, that is such a lovely and cheeky girl but is two sandwiches short of a picnic at times, was off searching for a place, she had been told, it was the Bee’s Knees for a cuppa and a cake, but when she got there she was completely gutted: the cafè looked so dodgy and what’s more after she had asked for a loaf of cake and a double expresso she realized, she hadn’t taken her purse with her, so she had no money.
Any road she was yet so bloody jammy that, while looking around for getting away with the situation, a tenner on the floor caught her sight, so luckily she was able to enjoy the coffee and the cake, that actually she found the Dog’s Bollocks, and to pay for them eventually.

Think + preposition: read here https://hub.englishdigitalacademy.com/forums/topic/prepositions-after-the-verb-think/
– I’ve added some commas where you would naturally take a breath – it helps it flow better
– The last sentence would sound more natural like this:
Any road, since she is always so bloody jammy, while looking for a way to get out of the situation, a tenner on the floor caught her eye, so luckily she was able to enjoy the coffee and the cake (which actually she found was the dog’s bollocks!) and in the end, she was able to pay for them.
Do ask if you need clarification on anything, also in the photo 🌸
