My first ever proper advent win!

This is my fourth year of advents now, and to date all I'd won was one of 100,000 Pringles speakers (2012), branded mug & pen / small box of chocolates (2013) and four slices of cake (2014). Last week I was so daunted by the thought of trying to fit in doing the advents, along with the 1001 other things I'm trying to find time for at the moment, that I pretty much decided not to bother with them. Then of course I got a bit sucked in, and have settled on about 50 or so that I look at daily.
Anyway, just looking at my emails this morning and I came across one from yesterday that I nearly deleted without reading, from Kwik Fit - telling me that I'd won a set of four tyres on day 5 of their advent! :j:j:j Absolutely made up - not only to finally win a decent advent prize, but also to get this prize, as my MOT cert showed that I was fairly close to the legal limit on 2 of my tyres! So this couldn't come at a better time.
Thanks KatieL for posting and thanks to all those who are tirelessly updating the advents!

Congratulations!
I hope that's not the end of your good luck with the advents. Perhaps you might win a meal somewhere which you can drive to on your brand spanking new wheels!
