Sky Telly win, one of my list finally crossed off...thanks to many friends.

I have no idea how or where I got into this Sky watch and win comp...and if I'd realised how long it was going to be well I'd probably have not bothered but on paper I had enough friends on FB to have a chance...so.

As some probably know I won a 50 inch telly..nice and what I wanted originally, but in the end not the best thing about it. How it went down was the best thing. Despite the app causing problems and not working it wasn't needed to bug and beg people for help, in fact some people really went out of their way to help without being asked by sharing with friends, asking for stuff to watch (which as it happened didn't count but the thought was there), Wen Cheryl and Tilly I know went out of their way as did others...and even Kelly who was close to me in the leaderboard was supportive and offered help right up to the last hours, as it happened she wanted the exact prize she won as did I, so the swap we agreed wasn't needed but it was a good thing as backup.

I haven't got the telly yet, I was going to post a pic of it but I'm in the mood now and might not be later ...and the telly isn't the thing really after all that. It's the how, not the what. I've always wondered how in all the hundreds of comps I managed to miss a telly...so it's a big tick in my wish list covered. Not by luck or being clever in some quiz...just by having so many good kind friends in a place where many people say such people can't exist, online, on this forum and of course that devil spawn...Facebook.

They do, lots of them, and I have a lot on my list which is the real prize here.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. I'll try and return the compliment when I can.

Thanks again,

PS Until I visited every single friends wall I didn't realise how many people had chickens, empty walls, really funny profile pics...and some pug ugly hounds and cute kitties.
