I've not managed much sewing but my stocking is slowly taking shape. It suddenly looks like I've made lots of progress but then grinds to a halt with bits taking far far longer than I expect. I think I should estimate the time then add a zero or 2!Best wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card
