June 2008 Wins

                       St Peters Basilica from across the Tiber - see 30th June

3rd June: Won a frosted drinking glass from Fosters. Unfortunately it turned out to be broken on arrival.

4th June: Received an e-mail from Microsoft to say we had won a 'Experience@ voucher for 100 points.  After much deliberation of the options available to us we decided on a night at the greyhound racing.  We attended a night at the Belle View racecourse.  The prize included entry, a three course meal and a race card.  We had a window seat in the main stand.  We enjoyed a good night’s entertainment, both of us having a small bet on each race.  At the end of the night after totting up our winnings we found that we’d lost 60 pence.  Could be worse. 

10th June:  Picked up a parcel which turned out to be a Wayne Hemmingway sweatshirt from B&Q.  It seems quite wearable.

12th June:  Another £5 Amazon voucher from GfK surveys.

19th June:  An eyeshadow from Virgin@home arrived today.  I also won a copy of the Joe Jackson CD ‘Rain’ from the Bridgewater Hall. 20th June: A Ronaldo t-shirt arrived – it will be OK for painting in.

30th June: Dale ran me at work to say we’d won a £1,000 European holiday of our choice.  We were put in contact with a very helpful travel agent who helped us arrange a long weekend in Rome.
