Really pleased with my first win of the year - Delia Online / Spanish Persimon Competition Winner - Samsung Galaxy Tablet worth £150. My partner's hasn't worked right since my mum dropped it on the floor, so this was great.
Soup and microwaveable mug from Tesco. Crosse and Blackwell, winter vegetable. Did make me giggle when Lisa collected the can from the post office. Why didn't they send a voucher? The microwave mug is handy, with a lid so I can carry it and not two soups it everywhere.
Another box of Dorset cereals turned up, don't remember winning more of them, but very welcome.
And a months supply of Cherry Champ, Gym Vit competition from The Melton House. Not convinced they will make any difference to Lisa's exercise recovery. It has beetroot in, but wouldn't it be better to eat the actual vegetable?

December wins 2015
False eyelashes. thanks to Fashion&stylePolice, @Olojay on twitter. She sent them straight to my daughter.
£10 iTunes from Sweetbeats daily. Added to Lisa's Christmas present. That competition is still going, like I need any more excuses to eat sweets.
Taken For Dead by Graham Masterton, thanks Ali The Dragon Slayer. Yay, a present for me at last!
KrispyCreme assorted dozen - a scrabble friend fb'd me this one, and I clicked it without looking at it. I sent the voucher to her to use, and she sent my daughter some more eyelashes.
Massage in London thanks to Le Coin de Mel. Mel was fine with me entering to give to my daughter. I'm in North Wales, but my daughter's in N7.
Month of XLS tablets thanks to Sonia at mummyconstant. Lisa was hoping I would win some to help her shift her tummy this year. They aren't cheap either!
Case of 9bars, I won and Lisa won. Lisa's arrived today, and I don't like them. Still, a friend here does, so she will probably end up with lots of them. And I bet my daughter will like them too.
£5 Marks and Spencer voucher. Another one for Rach.
£50 ish Walker picture books. Lovely big parcel. They neighbours have most of them, and a couple to another friend for her two little ones.
And the last, and tiniest prize of the year. A carton of Del Monte fruit juice. Well, who doesn't drink juice?
So Lisa and Rachael did the best out of my December wins, but that's okay. I get to see the screen tell me I'm a winner.

November wins and a very important birthday
Theraline pillow - gives lots of support for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Will save this for friends.
One pack of Pampers baby wipes - Thanks to @Pampers_UK. Handed straight to next door for the twins.
Cheerios Family Calendar Competition - they were giving away lots over the month, and I won one. Only just remembered about this tonight, and cobbled one together with photos of Max and one of Lisa as a werewolf for October. We'll see if I managed to follow the instructions correctly.
£10 iTunes voucher from Sweetbeats. Well done to Lisa for spotting the magic word WIN in the supermarket and buying me a Wham bar. The competition is still running, so it's a good excuse to eat sweets.
Now for the Very Important Birthday. No, not mine, 46 isn't a particularly special number, but it was my Gran's 100th birthday! As you can imagine, all the family travelled from all over for it. Rachael caught the night train from London to Edinburgh which had me singing Guns N' Roses to myself until she arrived. (I'll add more details at some other point)

October wins
I know, I know, it's January tomorrow. Thought I'd best catch up.
The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season on DVD - FHM clickies
Thalgo Indoceane Silky Body Milk - Emerald St, looking forward to smelling that
Dorset cereals, bircher muesli - daily runner up prize
Danny Collins on dvd - heyuguys
Sicario soundtrack on cd - heyuguys
Red ipuppies collar - Watches2U
Perfect partners shower oils - Aromatherapy Associates on fb
Some friends are big comedy fans, so The Big Bang Theory found a good home. The body milk smells gorgeous, I must remember to use it. I'm more likely to lie down on the bed and have a nap after a shower than think of applying lotions. I've been doing the Watches2U daily competition for years, so was a nice surprise to get an email saying I'd won. Funny that it was for a small dog collar. Looks very cute on our neighbour's terrier.

Hedgehogs and September wins
Paperback, Thomas Quick: The Making Of A Serial Killer - Picture House cinemas on facebook
Wychwood tshirt - facebook instant
Box of fairy non-bio pods - supersavvyme
Far from the madding crowd on bluray - HeyUGuys
Die Again by Tess Gerritsen - Dead Good Book Club
Cumberland Cream polo shirt - Jennings, Explore more
The Good Lie dvd - Empire daily clickies
Two tshirts from alcohol daily comps, yay! The Wychwood Halloween tshirt confused our local landlord. Where did you get that? Where's mine? Heh. He can have the Cumberland Cream polo shirt, it's enormous.
Don't think Thomas Hardy is quite Lisa's thing, so I'll watch that with some chocolate when she's out.
Great timing from Aldi - they were late with sending my swim pants win, so sent me a box of 10 to make up. Lisa took them round to next door for their twins and they'd just been wondering where to buy swim pants. So it's good to know they'll be used. Do wonder what the twins will make of swimming. I remember Rachael adored it straightaway.
Hedgehogs. We did have the occasional prickly visitor. Max did not approve of them. His face! He looked so very confused at a hedgehog when he met one. Very happy to be told to leave it alone and just stay with me. If he knew one was in his yard he would grumble and turn so he was facing the room instead. We now have up to 7 visiting a night for the banquet of 2 brands of hedgehog food, mealworms and lots of water waiting for them. Not that we are soppy idiots or anything.

August wins
Aldi Swim pants from win summer clickies - twins are bound to grow
Bottle of turtle wax - not exciting but will get used
The Tiger Who Came to Tea in hardback - love reading
Signed copy of The Modern Way to Cook - The Flexitarian
Wipes from @Pampers_UK - straight to next door for the twins
2 English Provender Co curds - All About a Mummy - lemon and ginger ones
£50 love2shop voucher - ShopEatSpeak consumer panel
My daughter loved the Tiger Who Came to Tea, she would chuckle every time that tiger drank all daddy's beer. I never got bored of reading it to her either, unlike Thomas the bloody Tank Engine. Winning this reminded me that I always meant to read Judith Kerr's When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit so I bought it for kindle. Same precise, touching and funny language. A book for children, but I still enjoyed reading it. Buy it for your preteens, very topical with the huge number of people trying to escape violence and poverty today. Maybe read it first so you are ready for any questions.

July wins - better late than never
The Yellow Balloon dvd - heyuguys
Fermented Foods for Vitality & Health - cut out and keep
The Secret Life and Curious Death of Miss Jean Milne - @bwpublishing
Nivea for men sensitive pack
Knitting Basics - cut out and keep
£5 Bernard Matthews voucher
Hardback copy I Take You - heatworld daily entry
Glad I remembered to post this, I need to chase the heatworld win.
Fermented Foods does sound a bit strange, but thought Rachael would be interested. Sounds suspiciously sauerkraut-ish to me, but it's not arrived yet. We will see.
I enjoyed The secret life and curious death of Miss Jean Milne by Andrew Nicoll, so give that a try if you enjoy historical crime fiction. Just looked on amazon to give a link to book, and it's only 49p for kindle. The Secret Life and Curious Death of Miss Jean Milne on kindle Don't know if it's on promo for a short time, but I would say it's definitely worth buying for that.
My neighbours now have their gorgeous babies at home after a little while in SCBU. So beautiful! But sorry everyone, as beautiful as they are, they aren't mine to share, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
