    I also had cereal when running low.

    Needed to buy tea bags this morning and some turned up from the PG Tips Cuppa Club!

    I think I entered it about a week ago and it arrived this morning! Quite impressive considering that some wins take about 3 months!!

    My husband used to be a milkman. Some time ago he was told that the rounds were going out to franchise, so he could either buy the franchise for his round or be made redundant (which would have been next to nothing). We were frantic, then he won £3,000 in a Daily Express competition, the exact cost of the franchise.
