    This morning I got a knock at the door and it was a TNT driver. He had a pallet of dog biscuits for me - 96 bags of it altogether!
    I knew I'd won the competition and knew it was for "a years supply" but just sort of expected them to send vouchers, or at least call me to say the delivery was coming!!
    The driver delivered the pallet to the pavement, I've shifted it bag by bag round onto the patio but it cant possibly live there. I think I need to buy a shed... today!

    :beer: Quick someone get me a lemonade before I expire with the heat!!

    Good morning/afternoon all! How are we feeling today? Lucky or unlucky?

    I am under the unlucky umbrella at the moment but not going to stop trying!

    Thanks PrincessMoneySaver for the coffee you sent me - will be put to a good use as I am such a coffee junkie. Have you got use of a chocolate fountain? I used one at Tilly's party at the weekend and I just put loads of fresh fruit etc to dip in and the kids loved it. I also used a second one I borrowed with some orange pop in it and the kids just helped themselves to a drink!

    Have you got any unopened gifts from McDonalds Happy Meals around the house? I use those for small prizes in a lucky dip and also have face painters etc.

    I too got the LEM from Argos re: Slumdog but haven't decided what to use my £1 discount on yet - LOL!

    Katie, hope the all day breakfast was as scrummy as it sounds!

    I have been mooching in the charity shops this morning for some ideas to adapt some outfits for my littlies for a 60s/70s weekend we are going to. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    Sorry this is a long one - hugs to all that need them and Wokkies - do I get TWO visits from you as a member of MZ and MSE!!!!

    Love Ru xxxxxx

    :eek: When I read this, I couldn't resist smiling (:rotfl:) because I could just imagine your face when it all turned up. Like you, I would have assumed that you had a voucher per month or something like that - not all at once!

    Well done tho :T

    Kevin: Hard graft.

    Gazebo - good idea! I know where there is one of those thats not being used. It should keep any rain off them at least and thats important becasue they are gravy bites, the sort that when you put water with turns them into a delicious meaty slop!! Can you imagine the mess if 300kg of biscuits unexpectedly met with a torrential downpour!
