OMG, i cant believe it but i had a letter today to say i've won the Big Stash competition in issue 39 of Take A Break.
Apparently it's £11,250!!!!!!!!
This is SUCH a boon after a terrible year including losing all my income due to Covid restrictions. 
Thanks sooooo much to @Stob who posted this one, for assisting with some answers! 
Only this week i'd been wondering if i should stop comping as there didn't seem to be many wins as there be used to be so there's a lesson to all - Hang in there, you never know when a big one is round the corner.
