Well It Was Friday 13th- £100 Competition Extended

We are extending your chance to win £100 to Saturday 21st February after the Colour of Money game crashed on Friday. Jenny here managed to get onto the leader board but after about 5.30pm none of us could get the game to work and, as the leader board standings didn't seem to move after that I suspect that everybody else had the same problems. Let's hope it's back up and running soon as we all had a great time playing. So log on by clicking here and give the game a try. Marion and I are having a small champagne reception for some close friends on Saturday evening. Paul tells me his phone will be switched off. There is a big interview about the show with Chris Tarrant on the Digital Spy website today. Click here. I really wish massive success to everyone involved with the development of the show.

Just remember, if an Instanta blog reader is in the top ten on the leader board at lock down next Saturday we will pay that reader £100. If more than one Instanta blog reader figures in the top ten, the highest wins the £100.



Marion and I did our bit for the Shop Southport campaign on Saturday and spent the grand sum of £46 in Boots. Mind you as they were giving £5 off vouchers with every £10 spent it did involve three trips to the till. (Not quite sure that's in the spirit of boosting the economy). We also spent £10 on a sandwich and a couple of drinks and we mustn't forget some birthday cards in M&S and a taxi home. I can see the recovery starting already.



Maybe we would have been in the mood to spend a bit more if that bloody rooster hadn't been crowing from about 5a.m on Saturday morning. I am now heading towards wits end and there will be blood if this continues throughout the summer. What idiot keeps one of these in the middle of suburbia? You've all heard the euphemism choking the chicken. Well this person is a chicken choker of the highest order. And there's going to be a rooster choker on the loose soon.

I've just made an appointment with Mark & Heidi from the wonderful Workhouse marketing to come and talk about the literature for the new Sous Vide equipment. It's good to be making something completely different and, having been a beverage equipment manufacturer for over 51 years it will be great to have another string to our bow.Mind you it's not that radical as the units basically heat water.



Excitement on eBay as I discover a valuable pair of vases for just 99p and win them. Somehow the seller contrives to break them both and says he has thrown them away when I ask where they are. Maybe he just happened to notice that I collect antique pottery or am I just being a cynic.

Is it just me or are the adverts starting to be the best bit on TV. I suppose that with the advent of Sky Plus the advertisers have to do more and more to capture our attention. The VW ad is brilliant as too is the 118 118 one but taking the world by storm and a massive viral hit at the moment is the Cadbury's eyebrows. If you are one of the two people who haven't seen it, here it is.
