    Evening Smits, well done and hope you win something good.

    I got a kick in the bum after seeing that ITV win confused0053.gif :j:j
    I just realised that one has to always read the expiry date of cosmetics etc...I was about to use a living nature set that I won this February just to realise that it expired in March!!!!:eek: Had to go in the bin, what a waste, I thought they last a few months at least

    Laks and Smits, hope it's your turn for a great win next.

    Me too. :)

    Have you had a big one this year?

    Don't forget your gloves. ;) :eek: :rotfl:

    I'm not too keen on eggs. _pale_

    I like them scrambled, but that's about it.

    :D

    I had a fab win in the end of March: a Netbook and an Apple Ipod touch. I was cross nagging away to OH, went downstairs in tears and found that signed for parcel (the neighbour signed for me) ..... when I opened it I ran to OH screaming I love you, I love you :rotfl:See how comping makes us good citizens :cool:

    Now I honestly still have no idea where it came from, not a clue! I think it must have been from your post Laks, you are the one who posts great things :eek::eek: xxxxxxxx We owe you big time xxxx

    You deserve a big one xx fingers crossed xx

    I remember when i first won something, it was a CD and it just randomly turned up one day. I would of had no idea if there wasnt a note saying congratulations inside. Not a message just that word.
