    I thought this was quite interesting from an email I received:
    Dear Kimberley,

    I’m sorry to say that you were not successful in winning a place on a FitforLife Bootcamp in Bath, the prize in the online competition run in conjunction with AtHome Magazine Online throughout February - March 2013.

    Nearly 700 people entered the competition which was won by Shirley in Stonehaven

    Oddly enough 63 of the total entrants were men which, considering that FitforLife Bootcamps are strictly for women makes it an odd choice of competition to enter; over 10% of them were called David!

    I thought 700 was quite low entry but I guess the prize is not for everyone (I would have loved to win it)!
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
