    Aw, sorry to read that hun. Don't let it get to you - at least not the 2 comping things. Both are just a part of the thing. I guess most of us have had to do the 'sorry, please choose another winner' occasionally. As for the spam, if I'd had £1.00 for every one of those, they would've been worth it.

    Here is to you getting a great win to help, very soon :beer:
