Don't forget to google yourself!

On the off chance I googled myself with "winner" this morning and saw that I was one of the lucky winners of an Elemis Spa Kit from Woman's Own!

It was an fb comp and they don't contact you directly to tell you you've won. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't done the search as I missed when they posted.

Its worth £145 so I'm really chuffed! :j

  • this is a good plan - there is a slight down side when you have the same name as famous american long distance runner.... I keep thinking I've won national competitions :eek:- then remember I break out into a sweat power walking to the paper shop!:rotfl:
