Good news from New Zealand...

She had to answer a couple of questions - I must speak to her on Facebook and find out what they were! I think most of the competitions she enters do demand a slogan.
Cars are fantastically expensive in NZ as they have to be imported, mainly from Japan and Korea, so this is a great prize.
She has entered a competition to get her wedding paid for, but I think that is just a lottery. My daughter would be very happy if she won that one, as she has three girls!

Lovely, what a great start for her.

I asked her what she had to do and here is her reply:

It was really quite simple, I just had to answer questions about different cars using the information given on the Ford website. It was so easy I had completely forgotten I had even entered the competition! I have now had the ownership transferred to my name so it is officially mine, I still have to wait for it to be shipped down from Auckland but it should arrive some time this week or early next week. I will put up lots of pictures when it arrives! xxx

What a lovely story! Delighted for her - and you, Greatnan!

The good news continues - Sam has been promoted to Fitness Manager for the chain of gyms. He has been in NZ less than three years, but he is very good at his job, hard working and popular. I suppose the fact that he is also very attractive might have helped! Lara is a very special girl, but we all think she has found the right life partner in Sam.
The final of the love story competition is next weekend, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that they win another $NZ1,000 of jewellery.

I just received a wonderful email! Congratulations!

Thanks, nfk, I think they have sent one to everybody who voted!

I got the email this morning too! That's brilliant news, well done!

I haven't had one and I voted!

I don't know why not, Galen, but I have posted it on my FB page as well as here.

You could check your spam box Galen it could be there

Will do but it doesn't matter. I'm just glad she won. She sounds lovely!

She is, Galen, but all her siblings are the same. The three who did not emigrate are a real support to each other and they are all devoted to their two little nieces. Big families can be very good sometimes.

This is very encouraging , G/Nan has had so much bad luck in her life , it is nice to to hear of positive things .Lara sounds like a very nice girl .
