    Wow, that's quite a haul.

    I swear if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!!

    I enter "comps closing soon" on UK Competitions. Been doing it for years and the only two things I've won are heartstopping. An acre of land on the planet Venus and a "top", ahem "designed" by some ex-Brookside actress. It looked like a blooming rag and even my fashion conscious teenage daughter wouldn't try it on, let alone wear it!!

    I have a hotmail address purely for competition entries and tick yes for every email newsletter going.

    I think I'm just destined to spend the rest of my time on this planet cheerleading from the sidelines and being pleased (even if it is through gritted teeth at times) for other peoples' good fortune.

    Keep up the good work littledutchboy and other lucky peeps!
  • Blimey, Hootie, you've obviously done something wrong in a past life! All I'd say is keep doing what you're doing and your luck'll change eventually...
