Can't believe it!

Hi everyone, I only started doing competitions just before Christmas as I joked with my son we needed to win Christmas! Well thanks to someone's really generous post, we won the Daily Mail Ultimate Christmas Competition. Even now I still can't believe it!!

The prize was
A Christmas tree
Lights
Decorations
Wreath for the door
Crackers
A 40" curved TV
Apple Watch
Samsung Galaxy edge phone
Mulberry handbag
Perfume
Minions toy
Elsa doll
Teddy bear
Nerd modulus
Go Pro camera
Sonos wireless speaker
A chef to come to our house on Christmas Day and cook lunch
A waitress to serve
All the food and all the drink!!

I've tried to post before to say thank you but never been able to work out how to send the message. I'm now hooked!! Comping is definitely my favourite new hobby!!

Thank you, Thank you Thank you to everyone who posts x

    Yes, that is the competition and it was one you posted. Thank you so so much, I have been trying to track you down for ages to say a personal thank you, you have no idea how much difference this made to us as a family, it meant I could relax and enjoy Christmas instead of worrying myself over how to pay for it. Thank you again, it is difficult to express how much I appreciate your kindness Fire**Fly x
