My first win

About 3 weeks ago I decided to start spending 20 minutes or so everyday entering competitions to see what I could win and just to say a huge THANKS to everyone who posts competitions here.
I got a phone call yesterday to let me know of my first win :j . I’m off to see Robbie Williams in Glasgow tomorrow :j I can’t wait, the only problem has been deciding who to take with me – I’ve become the most popular girl ever and think it might come down to drawing straws.

    Ooh how exciting,what a fab prize!

    I decided not to go this time, seen Mr W a few times and the last time I was at Hampden, the parking was a nightmare...plus got two little uns to look after now.

    Oh the days pre-kids!

    I met him once in the days of TFI Friday. I couldn't think of anything to say to him, so I ended up asking him for a light:o He was very friendly though:)

    I think the last think I won was a raffel back at school, I usually never win either. So keep entering things and you never know you might be next.

    I'm so excited, I don't know how I'm going to get any work done this morning. :dance: :dance: I'm going to see Robbie Williams :j

    I had the most amazing time last night. We had comfee seats directly opposite the stage, Robbie was great, we danced and sang along to everything. Can't wait to see what else I win.

    A special thanks to Kipper for posting the competition.

    I'm really glad for you that you had a fab time:D

    It really spurs you on doesn't it when you win something good.

    I'm off to see Beauty and the Beast stage show tonight with a posh pre-show dinner that I won last month.
    The girls are sopooooo excited about it - so am I.
