Belated Thank You's and a Story of the Comping Fairy's kindness

GeorgeBee

Ok, as some of you may already know I haven't been comping since 02 October as I have my final ACCA exams this month (2 down, 1 to go).

I've entered a handful of comps during my lunch breaks, mainly for hampers as that's my last TWBM 2010 to get, and I spent a couple of hours entering comps the other night because I was sick and tired of revision!

Anyway, just to show you haven't got to actively comp to win, these are my thanks you's between 02 October and yesterday (you'll see why I say yesterday when you read on )

Anyway, big thanks to...

Right, continuing on with my comping fairy story. Today I had an appointment in London for my £400 hair makeover (competition prize won a few months ago) - dead excited as I hate my hair! Anyway, off I went, trains on time and everything, planned so I got there an hour early as I hate being late.

Anyway, 2 minutes before my train is due they announce it is delayed because of signalling problems!!!

Get to London (finally) and am already 15 minutes late for my appointment. I had rung them and said I'd be a little late.

Went to get a taxi, approx. 100 people waiting and 0 taxis. So get on the tube - what a surprise - delays again!!!

After lots of running (in heels might I add) I get there - 50 minutes late and I am told I'm too late!!!!

I honestly felt like crying, I didn't, but I really felt like it. Basically wasted an entire day as well as about £40. And my feet bloody kill and I pulled a muscle in my crotch (lol!)!! Really disappointed!

Anyway I come home to 3 wins!!! The fairy must have known I felt down!!

I won an Embossing Punch from DoCrafts but I cannot for the life of me find the competition - if anyone can, please let me know so I can thank properly.

I also won 4 Wahl hair care products, they're quite manly (putty and things) so will go in my partners stocking. Again I cannot for the life of me find this comp!!

And finally, best till last - a big, big thanks to OneTreeHillGrrl as I won a turkey and christmas hamper from here -> https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2886932

Really, really cheered me up and I've now completed my TWBM 2010!!!

Oh, and the hairdresser was really nice to me, and said I could re-book and get my hair done still, hopefully before Christmas!

So, in short a big, big thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum and I will be returning on the 15th (the date of my last exam)!!
