Finally my luck has returned! I was starting to think my lucky dust had ran out, but I had a lovely email from the mummyvswork blog telling me I had won the family marquee sign. I was over the moon as I have just moved house and was on the look out for some nice bits to decorate with. It arrived yesterday and looks lovely by my kitchen table. This was closely followed by a Facebook win of a £10 Amazon voucher from ye old hot dogs. This was perfect for some Christmas pressies! My daughter Mia is obsessed with the vlogger Zoella so I used my voucher to buy some Zoella books to put away for Christmas. Just goes to show if you are patient the wins do arrive.
Just wanted to add that I have been having a nightmare with getting my broadband sorted. It was supposed to be done already but now won't been done until 1st December (fingers crossed). So please bare with me. Whatever happens I am looking forward to the Advent competitions and can't wait to open my Advent competition page where you will be able to find all the links to the advent competitions. It's the busiest comping time of the year so be prepared to start winning :)

I would like to say a massive well done to my first competition winner Debbie Burfoot. I will be sending out her prize of 8 handmade wine glass charms first thing tomorrow morning. It has been a great experience running my own competition and I will definitely be running more in the future. The competition received an amazing 1560 entries! Thank you for the huge amount of support from you all. I would also just like to add that I moved house on Thursday so please bare with me as i'm relying on my mobile internet until Tuesday when my broadband is installed. Happy comping guys :)
I thought I would let you know about a few good websites while i'm waiting for my luck to return.
www.goodreads.com/giveaway If you enjoy reading books this is an amazing website for you. You can sign up keep track of what you have read, share books with your friends and find out what other books there are out there. The best page on the website is the giveaway page of course! There are currently 870 giveaways up on their website and there are more being posted everyday! These competitions are definitely legitimate as I have won with them three times so far. www.winneroo.com You can sign into this webpage using your Twitter or Facebook account. When you start using Winneroo you are on level one which means you can enter level one competitions. You can play games on their website to earn points and level up. Which then allows you to enter level 2 competitions, then level 3 etc It is worth giving it a go. I have won a prize with Winneroo before so definitely the real deal. Hope you enjoy taking a look at these websites and if you know of any others that anyone might find interesting comment below. Hi everyone,
It was my 28th birthday yesterday and I had a nice quiet day celebrating with Chris and the kids this year. I also posted my first giveaway to celebrate with you all and it is so nice to see how much support I am getting for my blog. So if you have entered thank you it's much appreciated and if not pop over to my birthday giveaway page and take a look. I can't wait to announce the winner on the 18th November. This month so far all I have won is a bottle of tomato sauce LOL! But a win is a win and i'm not ashamed to say I still got the comping buzz when it came through the front door. Many of you that have been entering competitions for a while know that there are points when you don't seem to be able to win a thing and it can be disheartening especially when you dedicate a lot of time to doing it, but don't give up! Some months I'll have seven or more wins and some months I've not won a bean. If you put in the time and the effort you will win sooner or later. So for now i'm going back to comping and keeping my fingers crossed for the next big win. Be lucky everyone :) Wow! My first post a bit nervewracking if i'm honest but here goes nothing.....
What better way to start a blog than with a positive winning post of not one but two competitions!!! Fancy Me Fancy Dress made me the winner of a batman costume on Facebook for my son and then a few days later I got an email from the Colchester Zoo/Essex Baby competition to tell me that I was the winner of their family ticket to Shriek Week at Colchester Zoo. My kids were over the moon to put it mildly. We all decided to go on Halloween to the Fright Night using the tickets we had won. We had an amazing time. There was a Haunted House, Ghost Train, Magic Show and a walk through called Hillbilly Hell. We also got to see some of the animals although most were very sleepy. I highly recommend it to everybody for next year. I do advise caution to be taken though when it comes to the kids. Colchester Zoo gave every attraction a scare rating and we were told on some of the attractions it was up to the parents to decide but they didn't advise it for children under 12. Of course my ten year old daughter was adamant she wanted to go in and so was my seven year old son. I relented and surprisingly my oldest was scared to tears while my youngest was saying to the dressed up members of staff you don't scare me. Unfortunately I didn't get too many pictures as it was dark and very foggy but heres a few of the kids dressed up ready for all the fun. I would like to say a massive thank you to fancy me fancy dress, Essex baby, and Colchester Zoo we had an amazing night and your staff looked amazing and played their parts brilliantly. Well done! |
