Win a £10 Amazon Voucher
If you’ve checked in for my Wednesday Competition over on Life in a Break Down today, you will have seen the darkness of winter is already getting to me a little.
There is only one thing that always brings a smile to my face though and that is being able to tell someone YOU ARE A WINNER!
So I thought why not start a Wednesday competition over here as well.
And while I am giving away chocolate over on LIABD, I thought a voucher would do well here.
As I’m not 100% with it, I thought I would share some of our UK Lifestyle Hub Instagram posts with you.
So all that is left to say is how you enter the competition and to do that just let me know using 8 words or more:
What you have been up to of late, anything special done or planned? Or perhaps tell me a joke!
Good Luck.

My Malamute, Nakoma, has had to visit the vet a couple of times lately with an extremely sore elbow. He was terrified last week by the wind outside on the way to the car and cried and wouldn’t get in the car, so this week I had to take in photos to show the progress of his arm. I’m hoping he won’t have to go back as we don’t want another struggle with him-It’s scary enough for him being blind without having to leave the safety of his home to go to the vets too.
