My daughter has won her first prize!

Options
Just had to let you know as we are not particularly lucky in this family. However on a free visit to a cinema three weeks ago (to watch Barbie) we all filled in forms to win something in a Timotei competition.

Yesterday, I had a phone call to say my 10yr old DD had won the competition for that Vue cinema. She has won a giant Jenga game for the garden.

I passed the phone on to her and she was so happy and surprised. We're all just waiting for it to come now.

Just felt the need to share her excitement. I shall definately enter more competitions now, it seems easier to win the smaller competitions (well it was for us anyway!):T
If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

  • she is well chuffed, but still waiting for her prize.

    Does anyone know how long it takes for prizes to come usually? We were phoned last weekend and told the news and she is getting a bit impatient now!!
