I am in complete shock as I've just had a phone call from the Daily Mail to say I've won the holiday of a lifetime to Nairobi to celebrate with the celebrities who have done the trek across the desert, thankfully I don't have to do that! I also get to visit an animal orphange with baby elephants & I'm praying they'll have some cubs of some sort for me to cuddle & feed as that's my lifelong dream that I thought I'd never achieve.

Crazyterrier I love you more than words can say as I wouldn't have known to enter if it wasn't for.

All I can say is whoopdewhoopwhoopwhoop, I get to meet the gorgeous Dermot O'Leary, Olly Murs & loads of others...WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Update - prize is actually even better than I imagined as the website was wrong & I don't go from 18-21 feb but 25th feb to 2nd March so 6 days, 4 nights & it's in THE top hotel in Nairobi, the Fairmont Norfolk which looks gorgeous & all the meals are in the top restaurants. The only thing I have to pay for is my yellow fever vaccine which is £44 & transport to heathrow. They're sorting out my special assistance as I'm disabled. I'm soooo excited & still can't believe my dream is going to come true. When I got the call this morning I thought 'oh no what now' cos I've had such a horrible time recently & I still can't believe I've won. I could kiss Crazyterrier for posting & each & every one of you lovely MSEers for your lovely messages. Thank you all so much as I would never be as successful with my comping without all you lovely people. I am sprinkling lots of fairy dust on you all so that all your dreams may also come true xxx
