    In the competion I won the Complete Bedding. To be honest I could really do with a new duvet etc.

    I've just sent an email & within 2 minutes I had a reply offering me £185. I'm so happy!:j :j :j :j

    Hi Everyone,

    he replied to me as well. I can have the laptop or £500. If I accept the money do I have to declare that value and pay taxes on it? I would really appreciate some help on this :)

    Thanks,
    Alexandra

    What I achieved:
    Car paid in full straightaway.
    Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!

    I e-mailed Steve as well (thank you Lottiegirl :T ) and I've been offered £150 for the 5 driving lessons that I won, which I think is great
