in I won! I won! I won!
Got phone call from News Of The World this morning to say i had won two VIP tickets to the Superleague Formula racing at Donington and accomodation at Hilton for the weekend. Best prize i have ever won. But its my brothers wedding tomorrow so we can`t go. Had to tell them to pick someone else. Feel like lightning does not strike twice so i will not win such a top prize again.
Positive side is that i have a posh new dress and shoes to wear tomorrow.
Thanks ellasmommy for posting the comp.
