August 20Wins

12th August: I received two tickets to the Southport Flower Show, I've no idea where they came from, but who cares we had a lovely day out. (one of my pictures with my new camera by the way).

23 Aug: Whilst having my lunch I received a telephone call from the Guardian to say I’d won a place on their guided Ullswater walk which includes a steamer trip on the lake and an afternoon tea at the ‘Inn on the Lake’. The walk is led by travel writer and northern editor of the Guardian Martin Wainwright.

July 2010 Wins

2nd July: I received an e-mail telling me I’d won a map carrying case from the Simon King website

20th July: I received an e-mail from Delicious magazine to say I’d won a Mumbai Spice Banquet for 10. This arrived as five individual boxes each containing three different curries, rice and naan bread. Enough to share with the family and a little bit besides.

27th July: An e-mail arrived in my wife’s name from netmums website to say she had won a signed Craig Ogden CD. Well worth a listen

June 2010 Wins

1st June: I received an e-mail to say I had won tickets to see Motown Magic in Manchester. Unfortunately the tickets were for the date we flew out to Florida on our prize holiday.

5th June: A very strange prize arrived, a 2010 recipe calendar from Trex. Ordinarily this wouldn't be odd, but as this is June half the year has already gone.

8th June: AT LAST MY DREAM PRIZE a digital SLR. I recieved an e-mail from the daily mail to say "I'm delighted to tell you that your name has been picked from the hat for a recent competition we ran with Nikon on the online travel section of the Daily Mail - www.dailymail.co.uk/travel. You've won a Nikon D90 digital SLR camera kit with18-105mm lens (worth £1029.99 RRP)."

What the e-mail didn't say was the prize also included a training day worth £180 which will teach me how to get the best from my lovely camera.

I'm already out and about getting to grips with it, stand by with news of some prize winning photos on here

11th June: I recieved a letter and vouchers for a years supply of PG Tips - very handy in our house

End June: The only prize to arrive whils we were on holiday was an Elizabeth Arden product from Glamour magazine. Not sure what it does but the Mrs seems pleased with it
