Breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner*
I am completely thrilled. I don’t think I have ever won anything in my entire life, ever, yet a great big pile of gardening tools is now standing in my hall, free. I filled in a coupon for a prize draw (not even a proper competition!) in Gardens Monthly magazine and they have very kindly sent me – and 2 other lucky winners – a spade, fork, border spade, border fork, rake, sprung rake, half-moon edgy thing and hoe. Spear and Jackson E series, very shiny, very posh of handle. Quite heavy, maybe, though I will report back properly when I’ve had a go with them (at the moment they are all still wrapped), but sure to be better than the tools I have had for the past 10 years, which were a job lot from Argos. (And have suited very well: I’m not knocking Argos. Apart from the trowel, which is bent and a bit knackered, but I don’t have a replacement for that.)
*(I’m the one who is the winner.)

Congrats! I once won something from Safeway in Addlestone but am struggling to remember what it was (it was that long ago!)

Well done – well and truly beats my lettuce. I’m glad these magazine giveaways really do have real life winners 🙂

I remember winning a couple of late night phone in competitions on Forth FM up in Edinburgh, but that was always rubbish prizes like CD Singles and an Alarm Clock!

Excellent. You could always let the girls loose with the old ones in the allottment!
