I enter comps alot, as you know, and my son has entered a few, mostly he says mum can you enter these for me, waving a magazine at me. 
Anyways, I could waffle all day, its really surreal. We are going to Florida, oralando courtesy of First news and Universal. Flights, hard rock hotel and Univeral theme park tickets, for all 4 of us.
We entered off our own backs, rather than following a link on mse here, BUT i only knew about firstnews after an mse'r posted a link to it when i was on marternity leave..... Not that i remember who that was. But thats why we have it in favourites!
We can't afford holidays, we go camping, and struggle to afford that. :O I've been crying most of the day, hysterical much? :rotfl:
I started crying on phone, so Damon (the winner!) asked me whats up, passed him the phone and the lady at first news explained to him the prize he'd won us. He looked at me, i said its REAL and he JUMPED up in the air and shouted "woo Hoo"
LOVE IT!!!! Yesterday damon had said "mum how come you win, and I never do?" as i'd won a small, but lovely, box of chocolates via twitter, and postman had just delivered them.
I AM SO HAPPY, i might cry again! *slaps myself* I must try to calm down!!!!
