New blog.....

Hi all, since my blog here is doing so well I have set up another blog on Wordpress with a new layout and competitions I have found. Check it out here and let me know what you think. 

Not long now until I draw a winner for the Little Mix competition. Any future competitions will still be on this blog so please add me as a friend to keep up to date with my comping news.

As far as my wins go I'm having a bit of a dry spell at the moment, but it's to be expected as nothing is guaranteed. Good job I love doing what I do and any win is just a bonus. Hoping for good luck over xmas with all the advent competitions to do. I'm entering about 100 a day now so shouldn't be too long before I get something nice.

As always good luck x

With the 1920's back in fashion, thanks to the Great Gatsby I would throw a great party with all the glitz and glamour of this wonderful era. Although alcohol was prohibited during this time, my party would have to be an exception. My drinks bar would be stocked with wide brimmed champagne glasses so that no one would go without a cocktail or two! Buffet tables laden with appetizers to keep my guests satisfied before eating in style from the menu above. Entertainment from the Jazz Band would get guests in the mood for some dances and we would even do the Charleston!

Get ready for the Xmas Advents

Christmas is almost upon us and they will be many a FB Advent competition to enter. Below are some tips on how to enter as many as possible.


  • Start searching these out as soon as you can and save them to your desktop or set up a folder where you access them easily. There are so many you are bound to forget some of them so this does help. 

  • Enter as many as you can, as regularly as you can.If you miss a day you can't go back to enter.

  • Some sites have a Pass the Parcel like M&S and Sanctuary Spa. Send as many invites as you can to your friends and hopefully they will gift you back. Some FB groups have been added to help with this so have a word with your comping friends to get added :)

  • Many of these are instant prizes, don't be dissappointed if you open a door to find nothing, there's always tomorrow :)

I will be listing any Advents I find nearer the time on my new blog so please check this out.

As always good luck and don't forget to share what you've won on here x
