Ive been shortlisted to win a Kitchen worth £3k with My Builder! All this hard work gathering votes, Im now kicking myself as my kitchen is far worse than the photo I posted suggested, and I didn't entirely go all out with my description, but Ive been shortlisted! I now have a 1 in 12 chance of winning a kitchen, no sob story here, just pestered my friends everyday for weeks and they caved and voted and shared with their friends. Wish me luck, Im just so thrilled to be in the running, to win, well? who knows how I would react but it would change our lives xx


UPDATE! I didn't win :( and Im not a bit bitter but ...... It went to someone in rental accommodation! There is one happy landlord out there. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, onwards and upwards x
Win Totals 2013 £3331 / 2014 £4815 / 2015 £3067 / 2016 £5617 / 2017-2023 £4106 / 2024 £2500 OVER £23K!!

    Aren't they all?! Lovely to see someone who a) entered without a sob story, and b) didn't use a fake voting application be shortlisted! :D

    Ooooh, at least it's now in their hands, Louise... Fingers crossed for you!!! :D:D

    Hope you do win as you didn't use the usual 'my 'relative' is housebound and is suffering from the worlds rarest diesese and has no hands and needs a spatula attatchment ' route that everyone seems to do on these competitions. :rotfl:

    not that i'm too cynical about most entrants
