in I won! I won! I won!
Absolutely lovely morning so far - my husband and I are having a long weekend as it's his birthday and the boxes haven't stopped coming!! Got my Ted Baker scarf from Oli yesterday and my cushion today (which is much nicer than I thought it would be!!) as well as a mystery parcel - a Bic Soleil Xmas party kit. There were loads of these, but given the date I think it is this one - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=628503&highlight=bic+soleil so thank you very much to Snidely!! :beer: This was one of the best prizes ever, as I kept pulling more and more exciting things out of the box!!

In the interests of the £2008 challenge, I have embarked on a cynical price breakdown!!!

Bic soleil razor- £3
Bic soleil gel - £2.50
Silver metal chain bag (much nicer than the gold one advertised!) - £20ish
Maybelline XXL mascara - £8
Maybelline roller pink eyeshadow - £1.50
Shimmer face powder - £2.70
Shimmer body powder - £5
bic mini toothbrush - £2?
fake tan wipe - £1
Maybelline fruity lip gloss - £1.50
Deodorant - £2
Limited edition glittery party feet - £7ish?
Ghost perfume - £3

Totalling £59.20 - so I reckon in reality it's a £60 prize, to make my life easier!!!

Woo hoo! How delightful - I'm being all girly as I don't spend very much on makeup so all of these things are lovely treats... *dashes to the bathroom to see if volumising mascaras are all they're cracked up to be*

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
