    If you don't tell us what you won Miss Oyl will coming looking for you :eek:

    Can't be having that, I shall have to Oyl proof my house :eek:
    I won a mag daily today (first ever!!!) for a Belvior festival kit of picnic stuff, also won a digital BBQ thermometer (I don't trust my other half's BBQ sausages for s***) and won a Betty Twyford cake tin and tea towel the other day. None of them very big but all very gratefully received and they've brightened up my crappy stint at work, I'm very happy with them all after a slow start to the year :j

    Unless there was cake in the cake tin, I wouldn't come anyway. :p

    Hello M, did you have an ace time - what did you get up to?

    A new person wants to join for September, did you see during your trawl? I hope so because I lost the bit of paper I wrote the name down on :) <<< not a very good admin assistant.

    I've won naff all since you went.

    Entered 168 comps for the 11th

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Oh I did have a win while I was away, I won some dog treats, we don't have a dog at the minute :( but we are hoping to get another soon :D

    It is over a week since I received the DM but I have replied telling them I was on holiday, so I hope they will accept that and still send the prize :o

    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Haha, just because I'm northern and a bit rough around the edges doesn't mean I'm dedicated thread bouncer :A

    Glad you had fun - not sure how you managed to relax in London though - I have to charge around like a loony to cram as much in as possible, otherwise I feel like I've missed out, I go armed with a massive list and blister plasters.
