OMG Guess what!!!

I've won a stay at this hotel....

http://www.lakecountryhouse.co.uk/

This is from the OP on the comps board "The prize consists of a one night stay in a luxury suite at The Lake Country House & Spa for 2 people, including dinner, bed and breakfast, flowers and chocolates on arrival, and a spa treatment for both guests. Total prize value is £500"

I thought it was fake when I read the email but it looked quite official so I thought i'd investigate and I found the original comp on MSE and I definitely entered it because I thanked the OP. OMG!! I never win anything!!!!

:j :j :j :j

Only just caught up on the days events here. So much to read.....

Rusty - sorry to hear of your woes in the other place, not sure what I can do practically but you've certainly got my full support if you need help - yell. Well done on your total by the way.

Well done too Rainmac - good luck with the poo bottling!:o

Padster - Thanks for the glam pics of Malmaison - looks lovely - as do the budgies now they've got feathers - they look irridescent.

Hayley - So glad you enjoyed your day. Edited Wow! just read your good news! Congratulations!

Aurora - Thanks for the links for paper I'm sure I've seen Rhubarb & Ginger jam & Rhubarb & Orange jam but no idea how you make it - wonder if someone on the old style thread will have recipes?

Flourgirl - hope you had a good Easter!

'Bye for now

jamtart6

furrypig

Wow!! Well done Hayley how exciting!! Enjoy your stay there it sounds fab!!

How big is your suitcase and can we all fit in??

rainmac

Wow hayley, huge congratulations on your win, hotel looks lovely, I am very jealous When are you going to go, can we kick your OH out and have a thrifty gifty meet up. We could all bring craft stuff and make stuff all night. You could smuggle us in through the window (so ask for a room on the ground floor )

Big thanks to the lovely furrypig for her advice on how I get my son's poo into the tiny pot, this is my task for this morning. Wish me luck girls!!!

Enjoying a gorgeous storm here, just coming to an end. Planted a couple of black currant bushes & a gooseberry bush from poundland yesterday so glad they're getting another watering. I was talking about getting a green grape vine yesterday with OH, I've tried them a couple of times in other parts of the garden but they seem not to like it so shall try yet again in another spot. Must be a fashionable plant atm by the looks on here.

I sorted my rubber stamps out the other day & am going to put some on ebay - the ones I dont think I'll use. So todays task is to take photos & do the html ready to put on ebay tomorrow evening. Also see what heavy items I have to put on for collection or courier.

Rainmac - what a lovely task for the day! Hope you get what you need without too much mess or bother

Hayley - Well done! looks wonderful & with all those spa's & such I'm sure it'll help you sleep (once you've got there anyway, lol)

Paddington - Loving the B's on your Blog, Brilliant bushy birds & big bouncy bed (cant think of any b words to describe the bath, lol)

Choccy - Busy, busy, busy, you'll have to spend a day just to blog it all soon.

Rusty - WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Furrypig - I remember both the sweets & the cartoon, bab badab bab badab, now I got the flamin tune stuck in my head:eek:

Aurora - try asking on the OS forum for ideas on rhubarb, its a very helpful, friendly place (I find anyway) so you should get a good response.

sylphraven I had the rhubarb and custard song in my head all night. No wonder I was making a cup of tea at 2 o'clock this morning and reading until half past three. Still, only got a fifteen hour day ahead of me!
