Aah Nicholas, how sweet, what a lovely partner you are! Must point this one out to my hubby! In the Easter raffle at work, I was thrilled to bits to win a box of chocolate truffles - not only are they my favourite thing ever, but I don't win things usually - then imagine my disappointment when I found they were truffle-coated ALMONDS (eeugh! yuk!) and had to give them away!

Thinking about it whilst ironing (!) one of the best things I have won is the love of my partner! How can I be so blind not to have thought of that first of all!

I won a shower Radio in Take A Break magazine last year. After a few months I still didnt recieve it so phoned them and they said its nowt to do with us. but gave me another number and hey presto got it. Have never used it as it takes too many stupid batteries. But it is the first prize I have ever one not exactly brilliant but I WON IT Do you know since that day I have never entered any more competions in that magazine. I dont know why I was just relieved to win at last. Debbie

I went to watch my friends daughter in her Christmas ballet concert and won the raffle which was a term for free. Her Mum was very pleased as she was newly single and struggling.
