in I won! I won! I won!
I've just had a call from the very nice man at the ideal home show to tell me i've won a trip to Sydney and Tahiti, a 7 night affair which all sounds very good to me, I really can't belive that I could actually win something this big, I assumed by entering all these comps i'd come out with something small not anything like this, I really can't believe this!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Kizzy001, prudent and strepsy who all posted this :beer:

I've never won anything like this! I just cant believe it!!! :j :j :j :j

    Jimsmum, whilst i'd love for you to come, my partner already has plans for every single day of the trip, and if I said he couldnt come, i'd probably not survive past tomorrow! ;) :rotfl:
