    August for me has been pretty quiet, but I only started 2 months ago and the way I see it is some comps are long running *fingers crossed*

    Small win: Oil & compact mirror - received a winning call Friday

    Big win: Man Utd v Chelsea tickets, hotel, travel, and took a penalty at half time! - Best win so far!
