The roll continues

In today's post: A finger painting set (not sure if this was a freebie or a comp?) and a cheque for £50 from a premium bond win. I am just going to lunch with some friends. One has a toddler, so I will take the set along.The set came in a stamped envelope and the stamps were unfranked, so 55p of stamps too :D

    I'm on a roll too:j not up to your standards yet though:rotfl:

    yesterday - phone call to say I'd won a kettle and would I like white or stainless steel finish. (This was online but via Candis mag which I subscribe so not entirely 'free' !)
    today - pack of organic green tea.
    tomorrow - who knows....:confused:

    Two very nice prizes though. Maybe the kettle will cover the cost of the subscription to the mag?

    You will win, but be prepared for a wait. Entering local paper comps is probably your quickest route to a first win.

    Congratulations Prudent. The finger painting set was a freebie, I got one too from Toy Hound. DD will have fun making a mess with that later.

    P.S. Lucky for me you mentioned the stamps, mine were the same!
