Sorry for keeping you all in suspense! I was going to post and then my pickle of a puppy escaped from the garden (again!!) and I had to spend time getting her back and then trying to block off where she got out. Not exactly what I had planned to do. :(

 

Anyway, the votes have been verified and the names picked at random. :o

 

Our winner this month is the ever lucky Geraldine! The runner up is aliamch and the winner of our bonus prize was HoneyPancakes. xD Congratulations everyone, I'll be in touch about prizes. :(

Geraldine has very kindly asked that we donate her winnings to a children's charity so I have this morning donated £20 to the NSPCC. Many thanks Geraldine, and congratulations :o
