in I won! I won! I won!
I received through the post today a letter saying I had won a family ticket to the Centre for Life in Newcastle. It is an interactive educationncentre and quite expensive to go to.

Thanks to Michellew for posting. I am giving the ticket to my friend who has kids. I have been having a rough time as in the past week my partner has left me, I have to give up our house as I am a student and can't afford it on my own and my dog has bitten my sister and as i can no longer care for him he has to go back to the RSPCA and it breaks my heart, so I am not in a good place at the moment but this cheered me up a little!

I love comping it keeps me distracted!

*** Thanks everyone for all your kind words. Hopefully it will be the first of many wins*****

    It's really nice of you to give your friend the prize.

    I hope that the comp win is the start of some good karma coming your way. :D

    Hope things get better for you and I hope all goes well with your studies.
