Oh My Word £5,000 Beat the Star - Thanks Dalkirst

Oh My Word. Just received the cheque today. Had the phonecall last week, but just honestly didn't believe it until I got the cheque in my hand. £5,000, still hasn't sunk in. It's made my year, it really has. :j

Thanks so much to Dalkirst for posting, you can't imagine what this means to me! :beer:

As a very small way of giving something back, I thought I'd jot down a few thoughts of things I've always wondered about the ITV comps.
- Usually, I try to keep on top of the ITV comps as if you fall behind, it's a nightmare to get back on track, but with this one, I actually entered the day before the closing date.
- I used a mobile number
- I also usually enter the 30 times, and I wait for the red words to appeat for 'You've exceeded your entries...' - I wondered whether this would disqualify you completely, but obviously not.

Thanks again to you all.....
