in I won! I won! I won!
Whoopppeee, I won something, I have never won a competition or raffle in my life before!!!

Yesturday when I got home a large box was at my doorstep, I have won a Senseo Philips coffee machine from a Parkinson competition I enterered.

Was soo pleased!! Might sell it or give it as a gift to someone as I don't drink coffee!!!!!!!!!!! But it was fun to win anyway!!

    Congratulations. :T

    And can I remind you that Lidl sell coffee pods which are really rather nice and are 89p for 18 at the mo.

    The prices seem to vary between 59p and £1.69 at Lidl. They can't see to make up their mind, but anyway, I prefer them to the Kenko ones. Haven't tried the Senseo ones for ages, so can't compare them to the Lidl ones.
