The Big Birthday Giveaway

If you are on Twitter, look out for us this week. As a celebration of my impending 40th birthday i am giving stuff away everyday!
We started on Saturday giving away 10 of our own eco bags, and then thought why not give a little something away everyday just for a bit of fun!
I hadn't really allowed for the fact that some people would be a tad untrusting ( there is alot of spamming on twitter so you can't really blame anyone).By day 2, we had lost a few followers, we were giving away toffee poppets,lots of people wanted a packet but didn't give an address to send them to.
I was having second thoughts about this week of giveaways if people were starting to think i was collecting addresses for spamming purposes. Then someone on twitter suggested that i go for more of a competition format, so today i decided on a question "How many times stronger than a man is a gnome?" and the prize? a tiny gnome of course! The 10 tiny gnomes went very quickly! Great. (oh and the answer is 7 times stronger apparently!).

So quiz questions it is for the rest of the week. I have a bit of a plan for the things we are going to give away but this could all change as we go along. Keep a look out and you will get yourself a little something in the post!

Most important thing to remember is this is simply a bit of fun to mark the countdown to my 40th birthday on Saturday and this is what i looked like last week on my holidays to prove i am a real person and not some bot!
