    The day when I clear the 2 B_clay cards will be a day to remember. However you might have to stick with the diary for the next 36 months to see that ha ha ha. Actually I can get rid of one this year I think :)

    I think I can cope with stickingwith you for 36 months, you might have to stick with me for about 20 years :rotfl:, is that a fair trade ?!!

    No I dont think you mentioned the comps. I do them every now and then, If I had more time I would enter more. I had a friend who used to do loads and loads many years ago and won so much.

    I did win a box set of Shrek DVDs a few months ago, shame we already had them all, I was actually hoping for the 1st prize, tickets for the girls to see the Stage Show !

    I think I can cope with you both being around for as long as it takes!

    Sometimes I have to do a double check to see whose diary I'm on as we keep popping in and out of each others :rotfl:I've noticed a thread of conversation is started on one and finished on another!

    ps Thanks for the competition, I've just entered
