Competitions and prizes

This weekend I received £350 worth of holiday vouchers for Cumbria Cottages through the post. These were among the latest in a number of wins I have had since I began entering competitions again, in mid-December. The wins have ranged in size from a box of After Eight mints to two large boxes of Fisher Price toys.

Because many competitions and giveaways have more than one prize, it sometimes happens that I have won a prize that is of no use to me. It is my intention to sell those prizes because, like most of us at the moment, I need the money. In addition to the wide variety of auction sites and more traditional selling methods such as newspapers, there are also a number of comper forums that offer swaps or sales of unwanted prizes. So far, I haven't investigated too much, but plan to in the next few weeks.


Spode cups and saucers
Anyone who knows me will take just one look at the beautiful Spode cup and saucer set below, with placemats and coasters and snigger to themselves. I have an appreciation for the design, the skill and beauty of the objects, but I would say that they are very feminine objects. Although, yes, I am female, I am not sure you could call me particularly feminine. I also don't have the room to begin collecting anything else - my husband tells me I already have far too many books in the place. I don't believe that there can be such a thing as too many books, personally.
