    The Newt is imaginary??? I hope it is not an imaginary prize too, or we will have to report you to the ASA and you will get told not to do it again. You will be telling us next that the comping fairy is imaginary too.

    A little bit of me was wondering if you had gone to the trouble of photoshopping a photo of a newt into your photo.

    The prize goes to whosoever spots the newt so I don't see I can be in trouble for that.

    I fear the comping fairy maybe lost it's been a while since I have seen her.

    Every christmas hamper I've ever seen has always had a tin of pek ham and a fray bentos pie in.

    Biscuits - custard creams, ginger nuts, shortbread, or one of those family selections (theres a comp on those too at the minute)
    Angel delight, trifle mix, sponge puddings (you can get some from the cupboard section in supermarkets), custard mix, rice pudding, jelly mix, meringues
    fudge, butter tablet, kendal mint cake, toffees, maltesers, matchmakers
    pringles
    cream crackers, ritz biscuits
    jam, marmalade
    tins - beans, spaghetti, tuna, ravioli
    stuffing mix
    teabags, coffee, cocoa
    Save
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
