    these phone -in competitions/giveaways can be expensive,

    well, you can always buy the mag & send the entry coupon in, issue 50 (bella mag ) was 85p last week to buy,

    generally works out texting it in at 25p - 50p , depending on your network provider, bt calls are 25p :D

    I generally don't go for any text/phone comps that are over 50p - £1.00, depends on the prize, got to be a really good prize to spend a quid on for me :D
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png
