My Trip To Brussels ...

... had to be awarded to someone else as I couldn't take advantage of it by end November and the prize is not transferable.

I know the competition stated all these conditions from the beginning, but I never thought for one second I'd win. 

All the best to Karen who can take the prize and enjoy.  Karen, I hope you at least bring back some Belgian choccies which you can send to me - and of course truck loads of pix.

I'm devastated...Source URL: http://gotobeskinnybitch.blogspot.com/search/label/win%20a%20trip%20to%20brussels

Fresh Eyes on London and we are social just named little ol' moi as their winner of their Win a Trip To Brussels competition.

I don't think I've won anything like this in my life! Apart from the odd school raffle and free samples, like everyone else, but certainly nothing as big and as exciting this!!!


I'm thrilled and gob-smacked all at the same time.. When I saw my name on Mo's blog my eyes went all saucery and starry and a massive grin curled across my face. I never thought that I would win when I entered just for fun.

What do I do now?

If only someone else would sponsor me tickets from Johannesburg to London, I could take my wonderful Boerewors-of-a-husband on a trip of a life-time for our 10 year wedding anniversary which coming in a few months time.  My ultimate dream is to see Europe and visit my family in Scotland while I'm there (I haven't seem any of them in almost 30 years!)

Now wouldn't that be an awesome surprise for him!!!

*sigh* Like they say....pie in the sky

No !I didn't enter Britian's Got Talent...



...my karaoke certainly has not improved ten-fold overnight...



...I recently entered a competition on Fresh Eyes on London and you'll join me in my elation to know that I am one of the six finalists that will be put into a hat and drawn by we are social.



So pending that my life-long shitty luck miraculously takes an up-turn and I win, then I will have to find some extra cash lying around to buy a couple of tickets to London.  Either that or donate the prize to my Brother In Law who lives in London and he can pay me back by sending me truck loads of Mars Bars and Penguin Biscuits the UK...



Hold on to your hats, Ho's, I may have a holiday coming up VERY soon.Source URL: http://gotobeskinnybitch.blogspot.com/search/label/win%20a%20trip%20to%20brussels

Here is my entry:
I seriously need this holiday as my hooligan girl-children are not only driving me to guzzle copious amounts of alcohol and sucking on extra cancer sticks, but I my temples are transforming into salt and pepper. This melancholy makeover is much more disturbing than the damage that fags and booze are doing to my lungs and liver. It’s vital that this holiday be mine, as my unfortunate husband has a to put up with a grumpy, intoxicated and soon-to-be middle-aged red-head. So, in conclusion, I’m doing it for my marriage – poor bugger!


Oh, and I will be tweeting this lots and I posted on my bloggy too. Can I do anymore?
