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.  

Lots of wins in June

Diamond glass set of 2, Win something
Multipower giro pack - recovery stuff, tshirt and drinks bottle
Demolition Dad - Mumsnet
Fatboy Slim Collection - no idea where from
Kajaki on dvd, Car Mechanic
12 bottles of salad cream - Heart

Cadbury Puddles - Thanks Jo at given to distracting others
Pretty Is, First reads / Orion. I am very selective with book giveaways, no selfpublished.
£50 cheque from Take a Break.  

So nothing huge, but I do love being told I'm a winner.  The salad cream win was hilarious.  I was trying for an itunes voucher, but no.  Lisa collected a huge very heavy jiffy bag from the post office with 12 bottles of the stuff.  On her birthday.  She doesn't even like the stuff.

A Few May Wins

Forgot to post this, but look!  I'm a winner again!

Drummond Park games bundle including Rapidough. Thank you to Mary at http://over40andamumtoone.com/

A pack of sensitive baby wipes. Small but handy.  Thanks to @Pampers

Sample of Pantene Classic Clean

Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky shampoo and conditioner.   Thanks for both to supersavvyme.co.uk.

We gave Rapidough to our neighbours.  She's feeling rather large and tired with her growing belly of twins so this was fun to play with his girls.  They really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

No Wins in April

None at all.  Not even a tiny one of a packet of biscuits like I had last month.  Isn't luck odd?  I can't even remember when I had a month without a win.  This month has started better though; just had an email from Mary at over40andamumtoone to let me know I've won some games.  Look!  Drummond Park games.

So I'll keep on entering.  May is already luckier for wins than April.
