Perfect bracelet win!

Thank you so much to Fiona of dollydowsie.com for running this competition OLLY M JEWELLERY - GOLD & INITIAL FRIENDSHIP BRACELET & *FEBRUARY GIVEAWAY* recently.  She emailed and tweeted me on Saturday to say that I've won.  Just brilliant, it's Lisa's 40th birthday in June, and this is perfect for her.  She usually wears a couple of friendship bracelets, not this expensive though, so the style is absolutely right.  Thank you to Olly M Jewellery for giving this prize, I so look forward to it arriving.

January Wins!

A lucky comping start to the 2014, still no holiday or car (yet) but some lovely things again.  I tried a couple of radio comps last month, and didn't win the money on offer, but discovered I rather like absolute radio, a good background.

First win of the year was a Chocoholics box thanks to the Reading Residence - thereadingresidence Very tasty, especially that chocolate dipped fudge.
A token for a bottle of Sunny D
Some self tan goop - can't remember what, Lisa has put it with all the rest I've won for her.  She says the cheapest ones seem to be the best.
Thank you Jo at giventodistractingothers, I love my necklace.
Gold nail varnish, thank you elanorsnails  And no, I still haven't attacked Max with it.
Bluray of Harrigan
A Roberts Ecologic 1 from Absolute Radio. This comp - absoluteradio - request a song, and if they mention you and you hear the song being played, ring in and claim your radio. I was all aflibble when I heard my name. I asked for Black Hole Sun, Soundgarden, hadn't been played on Absolute radio before, but I was fairly sure Leona would play it.  And she did.
Last win of the month from booksbiscuitsandtea Wake, by Anna Hope. Look forward to reading that.

So how have the not resolutions gone?  Not bad, no chocolate or biscuits bought, and only one bottle of diet pepsi, drunk by the small glass.  The exercise thing hasn't gone quite so well, I just get so very tired the next day. Just zonked. Oh well!

No resolutions, no no.

But, I'm not buying, or asking Lisa to buy, any chocolate or sweets for me this month.  And that's going just fine.  Don't miss them either.  Which is amazing considering how many I usually eat.  I'm looking forward to a box of chocolate treats from a giveaway run by .thereadingresidence - we've agreed though, won chocolate doesn't count.

I usually drink pepsi everyday, usually diet pepsi, but even so, not good for my teeth, and the caffeine doesn't do my bladder any good.  Pesky MS.  And I'm not buying any of that either this month.  I'm not missing it.  Which I did expect.  Do I feel better for it?  Not sure, but I don't think I feel worse, so that's okay.  And why spend on empty calories if it doesn't make me feel better?

Time to get back on the exercise bike.  Really don't need to lose any more strength, so got to give it a go.  First time today for a long time, only 4 minutes, but that's better than 0 minutes.

There.  Everyone else seems to have done New Years Resolution type posts, so there's mine.

If you like comps with a bit of effort involved ...

Have a look at this one http://lovechicliving.co.uk/win-200-ms-magical-dining-room-bloggers-competition/ to win £200 of vouchers, and a couple of runners up prizes of £50 of vouchers.  Fab comp, looks fun, but I really don't have the brain power to make a mood board.  Even a virtual one.  Still, if you like that sort of thing, go have a go.  Create a mood board and blog post about your dream dining room.  

Good luck!

December wins

I'm in bed already, I know how to party!

Another lucky month for wins, maybe next year will be the car and holiday prizes.  Maybe?
