    So its all gone a bit crazy!!

    I am on the Yahoo news site - http://finance.yahoo.com/news/stay-home-dad-scoops-prize-083000640.html?soc_src=mediacontentsharebuttons

    Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this.

    I am truely humbled!

    I'm going to take a few days for it to sink in and then start planning how I can fulfil all my dreams.

    Determination is all you need. x
