    I've won a runners up prize of a £5 discount voucher for some posh pet food in the Tailster competition - but I don't think that I'll be using it as I don't have a dog and there is nothing for £5 on the website!

    Don't know if this qualifies as a win - but if so it would be an April win! :)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Could you not claim something and donate it to your local dog shelter, better than wasting it ;)

    30 for me today (20th May) :(

    Re: the £5 voucher - I'm not going to bother with it. I entered the competition in the hope that I'd win the main prize (that I would have probably donated). The cheapest thing on the website would attract a £2.50 delivery charge. I'll just donate some food to local foodbank instead. :D

    Apologies for my absence I have been in hospital for 8 days so not entered any comps, am back home tonight and hoping to restart tomorrow, but possibly will be a low count for next week or so :)
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    I was told you were in hospital pet, I hope your feeling better ;)

    As I said above there are quite a few of us having a !!!!!! month (but we are still doing well :T)

    Don't worry about your numbers, just do what you can when you can, but remember your health is more important than winning a pen :D
