    Happy Friday everybody.

    No wins and still haven't received one win from ages ago. But it's the weekend, the weather should be good and I've found a bottle of Pimms I didn't know I had.

    Oh Pimms :D

    Many years ago a friend of mine and myself sat in a park near a river on a beautiful sunny eating a picnic and we drank a full bottle of Pimms and lemonade between us, I honestly did not know it was alcoholic until I literally fell out of my deck chair flat on my face. It is like drinking pop!!!! :o

    It's because it it usually drunk with lemonade.

    I like the idea of frozen strawberries - do they freeze well if you know what I mean.

    I usually have frozen lemon slices for my G&T

    I grow strawberry plants so have LOTS of strawberries for a month or so! There's only so many fresh strawberries I can eat or make into jam etc so the rest get frozen. I just freeze them on trays then bag them up afterwards. They're only good for cooking, smoothies or adding to pimms as they're a bit mushy as they defrost - but good for flavour.

    I have the frozen lemon slices too - don't need to dilute the drink with ice!

    Crossing off 58- a subscription. Got a wem this morning informing me I have a years online subscription to 'WeParent'. Should be interesting!

    Also....still having trouble finding matching my cookery book win to a challenge. Though I didn't get objections to my 'rhymes with tat' suggestions so it might end up going down as that unless anyone can share a better idea? :o

    Post a competition from a site that has been in existence for 6+ months but there have been no posts on MSE for the site for over 12 months or the website has never been mentioned on MSE.
    The site is 6 years old and hasn't been mentioned for a least 12 months.

    I've also completed my personal challenge of entering 1000 different Gleams/Rafflecopters.

    Not sure how much to put for my custom flip phone case and my custom photo artwork either.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
