This was my list for 2016 with my comments in red.
1. Holiday to anywhere preferably asia or caribbean
I won three trips abroad including Hong Kong so Asia was ticked off. Still looking for Japan or vietnam this year.
2. Cash (is it too much to ask for the big one of an ITV cash win)
won £1000 with the hong kong holiday so that ticks money
3. A new oven mine is broken and I don't want to pay to fix it...
oh dear the oven is still broken and I still don't want to buy a new one.... must get on to this in 2017
4. A new kitchen.. why get just an oven if you can get a whole kitchen. I hate mine the only thing that is good is the flooring and I won that five years ago.
no luck yet
5. a roomer hoover no luck yet
6. an ipad no luck yet
7. a new mac computer. no luck yet and my computer died in 2016 so this is more desperate now
8. liposuction no luck yet but did win £1200 of hair extensions so i can try to hide the fat with hair.
9. presents for my neice who is 9 months old now. no joy with this either
10. a car!!! wouldn't that be amazing. no but i'd just sell it if i won it probably anyway so the cash would be just as good.
Fingers crossed.... i'd be very happy to win a year worth of cheese again too. That was a great prize.Top wins in 2018: Trip to Iceland, helicopter ride over london, couples massage, £300 flight from Pringles, trip to Paris, cocktail making class and afternoon tea up the shard. .
