"The tide has turned and so far this year I have won a glittering array of prizes. The biggie came in April when I received a phone call from Conde Naste Traveller to say that I had won a luxurious holiday for two to the Seychelles for 5 nights worth over £5,000! (See picture.) The poor lady who rang me had a very hard job convincing me that it wasnt anything to do with yet another timeshare "win"! A few weeks later a mobile phone arrived. Then I won a local competition for a "fine wine and dining" experience. I have also received many, many smaller prizes. Today I received a lovely letter from BBC Good Homes to say that I had won a top of the range Washing Machine...can this year get any better (although its not over yet!)."
