I never in a million years thought that entering a competition would bring fame to my family, but that is exactly what happened when I entered a national Birds Eye competition. Having been chosen as one of the 100 winning families whose prize included £100, family National Trust Membership for a year, camcorder and camera and £100 Birds Eye Vouchers, our family also won the opportunity to have a photo shoot to appear as the 'Family of Birds Eye' launching their new family pie. It was certainly a 'money-can't buy experience'. We had the Head Chef from Birds Eye come to our house and cook a meal in our kitchen, together with a photographer from News Of The World. We had to pose for over an hour to get the precise photoshoot they wanted. My family felt like famous models - it was so much fun. The advert appeared in the News Of The World for two consecequtive weeks and in The Sun three days in a row! Before leaving us the chef loaded our freezer with tasty food including - you've guessed it - a family chicken pie!
