My biggest win so far...

Hello, I've been on the forums for a while now, but haven't been able to post (got my access fixed recently).
Anyway, while I was on the way back from a visit to the shops 2 weeks ago I pulled my phone from my pocket and saw I had a notification from Cosmopolitan Magazine congratulating me, triggering the ooooh what have I won feeling.

Thanks to Marg2k8 for the post listing the mags daily links I use.

Back to the win
I didn't open the email until I walked home and found I'd won tickets to the BAFTAS :j
a hotel stay, black tie dinner and a goody bag (Google Pixel 3 XL, Swarovski bracelet, half bottle of wine, half bottle of champagne, bottle of san pellegrino, Nespresso machine, hand moisturiser and some beauty serum).

The day went well, arrived early to collect tickets and check in.
Got changed and headed down to a champagne reception (took my brother as I don't have a +1).
The group headed to the Royal Albert Hall before 3pm to get our positions by the red carpet.
It was fairly quiet for the first 2 hours, then around 5pm it was wave after wave of people arriving.
Luckily I could hear the fans further down the carpet calling out to the actors and directors, so I knew who was coming round the corner to take some photos.
Towards show time we had to remain in place to allow the Royals clear passage through and the last few actors passing through after them (Bradley Cooper, Rami Malek, Olivia Coleman and Christian Bale).
Got to our seats just as Cirque Du Soleil had finished on stage just in time for the start of the awards.
That all went smoothly, found our way back to the hotel for dinner afterwards.
All in all a good day and night
