Day started badly but got better !

Am a newbie to this site, have been comping for about 6 weeks – how addictive?!? Someone kindly crashed into my car on the way to work this morning, my toddler son in the back on his way to nursery, luckily he was on the opposite side and the damage wasn’t too bad, just a pain to get sorted out. When I finally got to work, had a WEM from this competition :

Big, big thanks to liz545. Never been to Glasgow before as am really excited. Also won a couple of tickets for Style in the City in Birmingham and had a great day and got a call yesterday to say I’d won a £40 flight bag from Carlton Luggage in Birmingham’s Bullring. Huge thanks to everyone who takes the time to post on this site and good luck to everyone.

    OOh - congratulations!!

    Sorry about your crash, the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, with my toddler in the back too - it's so scary!! I'm really glad your day has got better though - hopefully there'll be more wins on the way soon.
