    Thanks everyone :j

    It's too late, I think I am fully addicted to this already and it wouldn't be half as fun without all the lovely people here in the forums. Having been snared initially by comps, I now find myself facing my debts, and becoming more and more Old Style by the hour! :beer: And I have won a lipstick to boot! Whatever next in my MSE journey? I don't know but I can't wait to find out.

    The 'winning' letter has gone in my (lucky?) red folder, hopefully the first of many, to cheer me up on those :( days. I also love reading through the 'I won' forum, it's such a warm glow for me when people win even the smallest prizes. We are all one after all - my wins are yours, and yours mine.

    Peace, love, hugs and lots of luck to all.
