I'm excited! I've won a prize thanks to That's Life magazine. This week's issue has a game card in which you need to match Christmas words or phrases with those within the magazine. Well, one of my words matched, winning me a Castle Hamper! Yippee! **does happy dance**

I get my own Castle Hampers delivered on Friday and can't wait! I usually get Chrisco but decided to give Castle a go this year. I just liked the contents of their hampers. They had more that I would use. Both these companies have great hampers, it's just personal choice as to which hampers suit better. Anyway, tomorrow is my shopping day but the only food I will need is fresh fruit and veg and bread. The rest is all taken care of in the hampers! This means I can spend the money I'd usually spend on food on the kids Christmas presents.

I'm not sure when I will receive my prize. All claims need to be in by Dec 29 so I guess after that. I don't mind when it is - it will come in handy, especially just after Christmas!
