edited 3 January 2012 at 10:40PM in I won! I won! I won!
I am currently bouncing in my chair in excitement after telling the lady from ITV that I love her. I've had 3 previous ITV wins in the last couple of months but none worth more than £500 & I gave my biggest win with them to friends as I couldn't use the tickets due to my disability so imagine my joy when they told me I've won £5000 in Tesco gift cards with Britain's Best Dish.

I'm keeping this one for myself but I think I'll be treating some of my family & friends as well. It's both of my parents 80th birthday in May so I might throw them a big family party & buy all the food & drink with my winnings, also my nephew is coming home this year after travelling the world so it's going to be one heck of a party!

Thank you so much Dalkirst, you're a star!

EDIT - thank you soooooo much for all your lovely comments. Sprinkling you all with some of my lucky fairy dust in the hope that it rubs off on you all so that you too can get that call you all dream of from the ITV.
PS - to those of you telling me to spend some on myself I definitely will as I'll be able to treat myself to a new fridge freezer (the vent drops off mine every time I open the door) & a new dishwasher (the lock's broken on mine & I have to gaffer tape it closed every time I use it).

    Fantastic, xxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx
