WINNER : £50 Amazon Voucher from Palmers Department Stores

** CONGRATULATIONS MELLYSOCKS **

Christmas is over and it's almost time to hop back onto the bandwagon of virtuousness and start making a whole list of worthy resolutions which you'll break within 10 days.  No, just me then?  Yikes.  


As it's still technically the season of goodwill, the lovely people at 
Palmers Department Stores want to give one of you lucky readers a whopping £50 worth of Amazon vouchers. I said yes because a) we all need a treat after Christmas and b) I’m always up for a giveaway.



I’ve taken the opportunity of having a look around the Palmers site – their duvet cover sets are perfect for getting the spare room spruced up for Springtime, and I’ve also been having a gander at their kitchenware (the Denby ranges are rather covetable). 


They also stock a smashing range of Pop Art cushions from Malini; these are great presents for teenagers that claim to not to like anything. In terms of local history, Palmers are champions of longevity – they were established in 1837, and these days, they’ve got stores all over in East Anglia (in Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Bury St. Edmunds respectively), just up the road from my Uncle John and Auntie Pat's house.

So, how do you get your paws on this prize?  

Simply tell me the New Year's Resolution you'll make and definitely break. Nothing rude please, I keep a clean blog here and the Childerbeasts can read all sorts of words!

Rules :
Only open to Republic of Ireland & UK readers only (I know it's mean but them's the rules)
Competition closes on Saturday 5th January at 18.00
You will receive the prize within 28 days in the form of an e-voucher (once I get your email address, of course)


* Random winner picking works like this. Every comment is assigned a number in order. I then ask Lulu to pick a number between the first & last. They're the winners. 
Lulu's decision is finalNo point in arguing with a 7 year old, she's always right...

  3. Less baking of fattening sweet things and more exercise at the gym (5 days per week is my aim). Might end up upping the exercise to compensate for the cake baking. :)
