First wins and very first post!

Just wanted to thank everyone who takes the trouble to post all these superb comps. I have been entering for about six weeks and have really enjoyed it but the icing on the cake is my first two wins have come in the last week! I won £10 Topshop vouchers in the heatfiestarun competition and tonight have an email saying I have an invite to Barbie Fairytopia from the Betty Bookmark competition. Don't good things come in threes? Musn't be greedy though. Thanks again to all you posters especially those who listed these particular competitions. :T

    Congratulations! Can I be nosy about the Fairytopia thing. What sort of thing did you put for why you should get the tickets? I applied when Kipper posted but mustn't have been chosen I guess... Might try again with hubby's details. They already have names up as winners on the site but it looks like they'll be choosing more up until the 12th March.

    well done :)
  • Thanks Strepsy. Have seen yours and kippers names on here so much it's like getting a message from a celebrity! To be honest I just told them what a tough time we've had over the last few years and how my little girl has kept me going. This board has been such a help too as it's a great distraction and cheaper than clicking about on ebay as I spend as much as I make on there! Thanks for all the hard work yourself and others put into it.

    Thanks for replying, I might try again. I put about DDs name being Fay and Fay meaning fairy-like and... I guess they weren't impressed. lol
