    Who said that?........Where ya been stranger? :D

    I love Scotland for the scenery and darn sarf for the weather ;)

    Where you been? :o

    Well done on your win :T

    I reckon we should all guess now how much we gonna win in August.

    I guess £25 and I am being generous the way my luck is running :(

    Sorry mansey :o Just surviving end of school term shenanigans :eek: July has to be the busiest month of the school year!
    It was nice to get away for a week straight after school had finished - I even had nicer weather than DH had at home! (Yes, I left the DH at home to look after kitties and also because the thought of him and my mother in the confines of her small flat is my idea of a holiday nightmare!!! :eek::p)

    My July win just arrived - the small animal treats and they are called Fruities, so I got a fruity win after all. :D

    Best of Luck for August everyone!
    I'll put a guess of £28 and that is hopeful for my August wins lol.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    August is off to a good start! Just had a winning email from this :D What should I do about my rags to riches challenge? Should I guess how much on top of the £280 hamper (I'll go with £330)? I've also updated my August win and "O".

    Good luck to everyone for August and lovely holidays to those going away or who are already away :beer:

    I would like to know who you are referring to in your musical post Mrs Bot :eek:

    Actually it was what was on the playlist at the time. It is a holiday playlist so has references to holiday destinations. The reference being Greece not a supermarket although that is where Mr Bot has gone.

    Edit I can see it might be misconstrued so I apologise to anybody who may have taken offence. (I think I only have 8 more days of enforced politeness to go BTW)
