in I won! I won! I won!
Well, i've been comping for 2 months now without a win. I found a competition in a local magazine for 2 tickets to our local garden show (worth £5 each), which i knew my mum and dad would love. I got my mum and dad to enter too to increase our chances of winning, and the tickets arrived today (in my Dad's name).

So yey for winning the tickets :j , but ever-so slightly jealous that my Dad wins on his FIRST competition and i still have won nothing :mad:
