Two small wins thanks to elver man and hjb.

Firstly, got a letter to say I'd won an Edam prize pack, which I think is from

http://www.pickmeupmagazine.co.uk/competitions/?id=5690 so thanks to elver man. It turned up the next day but the lid of the cheese board was broken (they'd put it in a cool bag with no cardboard outside of that. :rolleyes: ) but they rang me to to check it was OK so they are going to send another.

Then I have had a LWE to say I'd won a It's My Birthday Wii game which is a RU prize from Real People. Thank you hjb123 - my second win from that mag this year and goes nicely with the Wii I won last month. (And whilst I think of it, my MIL gave me issue 30 last week in case I wanted to read it. I picked it up and my friend was looking back at me on the front cover! She was the mum whose little boy fell from a balcony in Spain last summer. I nearly cried reading the full story as I actually only tend to see her once a year, we email the rest of the time.)

    No, no - he survived and he's fine now. I saw him when we met at our annual meeting just 6 weeks ago and honestly, you would not know. He is one very lucky little boy. He will need an op when he's bigger on his skull but I should imagine he's celebrating his 3rd birthday around about now.
