    I found this site after writing my "list of things to do before I die" - one of my things was to win a prize! I lurked for a while but then got into it more. Now I can't stay away - OH reckons I have an unhealthy addiction - but then still used some of my lush comforter this evening in his bath!!! :rotfl:
