Weight Watcher's Simply Enjoy Cookbook

I've recently switched networks to o2 which means I now get o2 priority moments, and I am LOVING them!

Today I picked up a free book from W H Smith - "Weight Watcher's Simply Enjoy" recipe book, RRP £18.99! (Although it is on sale, maybe they're trying to get rid of it! :D)
It's a really nice big book, filled with lots of recipes that look quite simple to make. Looking forward to trying some!

Value: £6.99 at sale price

She Rises by Kate Worsley

My second win from Waterstones - an advanced copy of 'She Rises' by Kate Worsley. With competitions and christmas I am getting quite a back log of books to get through!

Looks quite interesting, will update when I've read it :)

Value: £10.39
2013 Total: £71.26



Update: So I just finished reading this one. Overall I'd have to say...it's ok, but not great. It took a very long time to get going, made worse by the fact that the characters are kind of...drippy. Louise lacks any kind of personality (especially at the beginning), and Luke spends most of his time walking around "feeling scared." And that's about it. It does improve around the half way point when events start to pick up, but then is let down again by an unsatisfying conclusion. The way the two plots are intertwined is quite interesting, so I would say it is worth reading if you have some spare time and a bit of patience.

Campo Viejo wine

This is another win that's taking a while to appear - a bottle of Campo Viejo wine. It came very nicely packaged in a nice bottle holder.. tubthing. Will update once I've given it a try! ;)

Total Recall Blu-Ray

I entered this competition a little preemptively seeing as I do not own a blu-ray player - but I will win one someday!
My boyfriend has a player though and we both want to see this film so not a problem anyway :)

Value: £14.99
2013 Total: £51.98

Update: I watched this the other day, I thought it was alright but I wasn't blown away - the plot was a bit weak and I think overall it was a bit of a 'boys' film - too many explosions and I got bored!

Brother's Goodies

These were all won during the Brother's Cider Advent Calendar. I mainly entered for the t-shirt. Which I did not win. So that is sad. Anyway, I did win:

1 x Brother's Flag (It's HUGE!)
1 x Brother's Lanyard (With bottle opener, quite useful)
1 x Brother's Drawstring Bag
1 x Brother's Badge

Value: My first made-up value of the year, I'll just say £1.
2013 Total: £36.99

Excuse the terrible picture -the flag was a beast to photograph! :)

Weird Fish Caps

Two wins from a Weird Fish pass the parcel game that I've been waiting for for a while! 2 caps - one blue and one beige. They are quite nice and good quality, although a little manly for me I think? :D

Value: £12.00 each (£24 total)
2013 Total: £35.99

Pump it Up! CD

I'm starting to think the postman hates me. I've got so many things that I won in December that I am still waiting to arrive!

Anyway, this is my first win of January so I suppose it is fitting that it is also my first post :) A copy of Ministry of Sound: Pump it Up CD. I'm actually really pleased with this win, it's not the kind of thing I would buy for myself but it does have some great tracks across the 3 CDs - a mixture of current chart music and some older club classics!
