    Thank you! I only hope that I can be saying a big thank you to johnwatson who posted the comp!! I honestly have had the worst 2 years in the world, my son was badly injured, my husband was on deaths door and receieved horrendous treatment for over 6 months and due to lack of income during that time we had to go bankrupt!!

    Thankfully both son and hubby well on the road to recovery, and I have not given myself a thought in the past two years, to win something like this would be a complete and utter dream come true for me!! Fingers crossed, cant think about it now because I will be a nervous wreck lmao!!
