    I commented last week about a win I had in May, I did not see till June and tried to claim in July :rotfl:

    Anyways my parcel arrived today and I was gobsmacked, I was only expecting a candle.
    I got loads of stuff a shopping bag, a handbag, a pinny, a tea towel, an oven glove, coasters, bookmarks, lots of note pads, a shopping list book, a birthday and anniversary book, a purse and more....

    The Julie Dodsworth stuff is really pretty and quite expensive. :cool:

    Really happy with my haul, and proves if you do miss a win but are polite about it you may still be able to claim :D

    So I still don't have a June win but it will add some value to my ££.

    (I didn't get a candle though) :rotfl:

    (Waiting for the Surfeners asking me what a pinny is now, as one told me the other week they had no idea what a bairn is) :p

    Well done on a lovely set of wins, ample opportunity to tick off three letters there I would have thought.

    And well done on being polite too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
