    Super luck.My advice would be to put the board in "Likeability View" if have that option & get busy.I'd also say get Roboform as well to speed things up.
    It's free to download & works very well............. http://www.roboform.com/

    What a fab first win, well done! I would suggest enter the ones you want to win and hope for the best, when I started I entered anything and everything but now I only enter for what I would love to receive that way when a parcel turns up I know it will be something fab!

    Enter the ones you want to win both biggies and littlies! That will (hopefully) mean that you will win regularly nice little bits (for me that's bits of make up etc) and then you might get the most exciting win of a big one (which you already have)!

    Good luck!!! :j
