    Had a good feel at the packet and decided it wasn't going to be worth much more than £3.80 and might only have been a packet of sweets.

    Well done on your win rose.

    I have been standing ironing all afternoon which is rotten when the sun is shining away. Not been a great day really! Going to open a bottle of Pinot Grigio Blush later though. :D

    Did go for the Choc Easter bunnies from the Tesco twitter comp and as DH & I both got a voucher we got 3 as offer on them in Tesco.

    Well done on your win Rose.

    Bet you enjoying having Rose firefly. Have been cleaning 1 of the rabbit cages out, the rabbit had escaped again and dragged the bag of hay near its run and were all (2 rabbits and 1 G.pig) comping (sorry chomping) away, piddled on the chair and managed to get back in before we got there. Naughty rabbit also scratched DH when he was getting them out. also burnt my arm on the tortoise basking lamp when I was putting their feed in. An exciting day :rotfl::rotfl:

    Glad you managed to get your ironing done Sheils, that was what I was going to do as have to get all their bedding back on before they return next Tuesday. Ended up in the big shed cleaning out the rabbits. Will do the ironing when it cools tonight.

    Been a fab sunny day here and hope its been the same for all of you.

    Chicken curry and rice for tea for us tonight.

    Went to Morrisons as they were advertising their lamb leg joints on offer but they apparently all went by 8.30 am. That will teach me that the early bird catches the worm.

    Glad you got your wine Sylvia :) enjoy! ;) Sevenoaks is a nice place, I used to go see a lad there years ago. Enjoy your family time :)

    That's a shame about about the win you had sheils, probably not worth paying price. Hope you get another win soon xx

    I know what you mean about bank holiday fire**fly! We are in Scarborough now but stopped off in Whitby first. Took ages to get parked and it was jam packed! Had a nice fish n chip dinner though, fish was thick white and melt in the mouth! ;) Never tried mackerel fire**fly so will try sometime :)

    Well done on the wins rose :T

    Good luck with the sorting out elllemm :) Not long now! Enjoy your night!

    Oooooh, not been in for a couple of days and missed lots! :eek:

    Staying with parents in Cornwall at the moment which is lovely. Went out for lunch with mum and dad on my own, as hubby stayed in bed - he's got a really bad cold that sounds like it's on his chest. He also has chronic sinusitis all the time, and the cold has made that really bad. Hoping he feels better soon :)

    We're celebrating Easter today, as it's Mum's birthday Sunday and wanted to make it special for her. We all exchanged Easter eggs today! :j :j :j

    Got a WFBT (winning Facebook tag :rotfl: ) today from Shiseido's Pinterest comp: three lovely items of make-up, worth £76 :eek: :j :j :j That brings my total up to £1,200 winnings for the year, and my aim was £2,014 for the full year, so doing very well at the moment. Big, grateful hugs and kisses for the Comping Fairy!! :j :j :j

    Sylv - I usually heat the turnovers and we have them as a breakfast treat - mmmm!!! Also Mum found in her local Lidl chocolate twists in the bakery - haven't seen them in ours, but they're lovely: a little custard and chocolate chips!
    Glad your wine's arrived in time for Easter :j :j :j

    Sheils - lovely photos again... My Dad's from Wolstanton and was in Biddulph Grange Hospital when he broke his leg as a boy...
    Love the story about locking out DS3 - that will teach him to word his texts more clearly :rotfl:

    F**F - congrats on your wins - the "classic dates" one sounds especially exciting... did they tell you whether it's the bronze, silver or gold level, and I'm guessing you get to choose your own prize from within that level?

    Ellemm - Nearly time for Crete!! Sounds like you're going to have a fabulous time :j :j :j

    Rose - congrats on your Wild Styler win, and on the Lenor arrival :j :j :j

    Happy Easter weekend everyone :D
