Hello all! Sorry I haven't been around much - hope you're all being lucky though!

Quick question - when you enter competitions on Twitter, and the company keeps tweeting the same 'RT and follow us to win *whatever*' every few days for the same competition, do you retweet each one, or just retweet once and consider that enough? I'm never sure if there's any benefit to retweeting again and again, or if that's even allowed?

Hi April :wave:

I'm afraid I can't help you cos I haven't got a clue.

I'm sure a tweeter will be along soon to assist.

I love black pudding to alfie. If you get a good butcher who makes his own it is lovely. I like it with a poached egg or a big cooked breakfast. Even like it on a bread roll with some brown sauce. High Aprillady I don't really know either I only ever retweet once unless it specifically says you can reweet more.

Hi everyone,


Had a nice break and weather was nice too. Visited Barnard Castle (and its Castle) Darlington, Seaton Carew, Hartlepool and Beamish so was busy. Didn't manage Richmond or Bowes museum so they are next on agenda when next over that way, Hotels were both good. The second one Beamish Hall Hotel was a bit posh - antiques and paintings everywhere too. It felt a bit like staying in a stately house which I suppose it used to be. Food was really good and really did get a bargain at both hotels.
DH had black pudding with his full English this morning. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs - love having that for a change.


Happy Birthday to your DH leanfun. Hope you have fun celebrating.


Hope everyone is well. Been trying to keep up.


Not sure about retweeting April. I only ever do it once but some do it loads. Sometimes companies say to retweet as many times as you like and you get more entries.


I won the Mug and Cross & Blackwell soup this morning while waiting on DH to get out of shower. Been trying every day so pleased not to have to enter again!
My missing £100 Amazon voucher appeared too so have ordered my iPad mini. Only costing me £6 on top of my Amazon vouchers and got 2 free hotel stays so think I did that right.

Hi everyone, sorry didn't post earlier but wash man came 1st thing, then docs app, then went into town. Got back to a surprise win of iPhone cover, iPad cover, blue tooth speaker and a iPad padded bag. Sure someone in the family will love these. Not sure where it came from though.

LOL at your GS saying he needs a rest Leanfun. Happy Birthday to your DH and hope you have a lovely meal tonight.

Glad you had a good trip Sheils. Hope your iPad comes soon.

Your DD is doing really well at her gymnastics Wingo you must be proud of her.

Hi Rose, Alfie, nice to hear from you April, don't forget to pop in when you have time.

Just thought I would share the card my GD in Yorkshire sent me along with a £5 note. We were in tears when we read it she is so lovely:-

Dear Grandma and Grandad.

If you ever find yourself with a frown, this might just turn it upside down,
Get a slice of cake and a cuppa-tea,
Get anything you want, mixed grill, cream scone or a croissant.
Now as your sitting in Sainsbury's chair, let your worries and stress float away,
like a cloud happy and free, relax and sip your tea, you might now start to enjoy your day.

(ps am sending £5 get yourselves something nice if you ever feel down.

What a lovely 14 year old!

Thanks Sylvia - seem to be struggling to keep up with all the forums and comps etc that I've got myself involved in these days, haha!

Congrats on the win, and that's a really lovely thing to get in the post from your GD!
