    :hello: Everyone,

    I went to my church early today to see my friends and I am enjoying the day,I had a nice Full English breakfast for lunch and it was lovely.I came back to a huge mail bag from RM outside my flat door.I took it in and opened it and it was my Ben and Jerrys win of lot 88 I won with their fairtrades competition I had recently entered and won with.Really delighted with goodies,It felt like christmas as it was a cooler bag full of stuff.Can you keep an icecream tub in the cooler bag or would the icecream melt? Just wondered as I only have a small frezzer and its not big enough to keep icecream just I thought the cooler bag could keep the tub nice and cold.The cooler bag has a special silver lining inside it to keep drinks cool :) :hello: KKK :) Hope you are well.

    Thanks

    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    Tulip you really need a freezer for the ice cream to keep it frozen for more than an hour or two.

    Well done on your win

    Thank you to everyone who tried to help with Disney Store code, they have emailed me back promising to refund delivery costs if I place the order without code so I have done that now & hoping it doesn't take too long to sort out. They didn't say why the codes weren't working but at least I should have my free delivery now. Special thanks to Korky who went to Disney Store for me to check if the bags were in stock but was told no more stock available, my little girl will be over the moon when she sees the bag I got her and also managed to order this http://www.disneystore.co.uk/disney/store/DSIProductDisplay?storeId=30053&productId=22425&categoryId=300018&catalogFromSearch=10002&catalogId=10002&langId=-11 with free personalisation on for her as a special surprise for her birthday.
    2023 wins - Rice Krispies, Avene Micellar Gel, Barbie Toy, £20 Apple Gift Card, KFC 6 piece bargain bucket, Chloe Nomade perfume, Barbie Toy (second one), Sanctuary Spa Sleep Balm, E45 Moisturising Lotion, Trolls Hamper, 12 Tonie Characters, Sure deodorant, Good Home Utensil holder, £5 Costa Gift Card, Neutrogena Micellar Jelly, Soap & Glory Mascara, Persil capsules,

    (many of you know I work for a comping magazine - I have never denied it!)

    But today I got a letter that made me squee with joy.

    A lady has NEVER been on holiday in her 70+ years, bar one night away in a local B&B for her honeymoon 50 years ago, due to financial constraints.

    This winter, she'll be jetting off for two weeks all inclusive in the Far East with her son, thanks to comping :j

    She's off tomorrow to get photos for her first passport!
    Best wins: Luxury weekend in Russia, family holiday to France, catered BBQ for 20, Selfridges shopping spree, jolly to Majorca, £1,000 See Tickets vouchers, £500 John Lewis vouchers, five-star weekend in Provence!

    Finally managed to post a couple of comps that weren't on here. I was feeling guilty as I haven't managed to post any for months as I am so slow everyone else usually beats me to it. I feel a bit better now.

    I am off now to try to do the day ending and hope to do att least a couple of days worth.

    Wasn't the old lady good on BGT tonight hope she goes into the final she has a terrific voice.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    Thanks korky, my head has been in a whirl all afternoon with it, but i'm proud how i dealt with it all, knew methodically to ring paul, ring sparky etc to make sure house was safe, what was frightening as the electrics went, my home phone had cut out , so glad we have mobiles and luckily spark was here within the hour to make electrics safe, got sky working as paul got more cable and stuff and have the floodlight chap coming first thing to make that safe and replace that, though all my lil plants got burnt to ash, even my watering can, i had a lavendar plant on the bottom shelf which cheeky chicken had given me so that getting destroyed upset.
    I cant believe glass ornamental pots could have caused it? x
