First Anniversary

14 April 2015 at 9:38AM edited 14 April 2015 at 9:41AM in Compers chat corner

I don't know if I should post it here but a little something I'd like to share with my fellow compers! Sometimes its not the biggest, most extravagant prizes that mean the most... Reece absolutely loves his wrestling and with his birthday on Sunday, we tried to get tickets to see the WWE live tour but unfortunately we couldn't afford a new bike (he's desperately outgrown his) and tickets to the tour. I entered every comp I could find and was lucky enough to win with Hamleys. Here is a video of him finding out last night that we are off to the O2 tonight! p.s you might need a tissue! :j :j

I shared it with them last night, had a lovely message from them and they posted it to their wall he barely slept last night and got ready for school today in record time! I think he's a tad excited!

Those are the moments which make up for all the dry spells. I hope you have a wonderful time and happy Birthday to Reece :j:j

To err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer.
