I had a call on Friday to say that I'd been shortlisted for this comp

So, I had to get up at 6am today then hang on the phone for a while waiting to see which of the shortlist they were going to pick.

And they picked me !!

Thanks so much to Lakshmi7 for posting the comp :A

So I won £1,000 for me - I'm planning to use it to take my son away once he finishes his GCSEs in the summer

And I also won £1,000 for Lionsraw: "Football fans creating chances for change at home or away".

Someone from work moved to Brazil back in 2010 to prepare for all the charitable, coaching and building work they're doing out there leading up to the World Cup, so I figured an extra £1,000 would make a difference.

If you'd like to find out more about Lionsraw, see here

p.s. the comp is still open - they're picking one winner every Monday in January, so make sure you enter !!
Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
