Gifts from thePirates in Orlando - Competition winner(s)

Okay so i know that I'm a day behind, my bad, but its what happens when your days are taken up with none stop running about, playing and generally making sure that the boys are having an amazing time. I thought that the only fair way to pick a winner is to let that 2 year old angel of ours do it. So the names went in to a hat and the winner is Emma Kinsley, well done Emma. I will contact you shortly and thank you for the lovely email you sent last week.

Opeie clearly enjoyed being clapped and cheered pulling out a piece of paper and showing it to us and got a bit 'winner happy'. So because he pulled out two extra names (and because i have an abundance of chocolate left) i will be sending two runners up prizes to Nik Nak and Molly Kay and i think you both made it quite clear in your comments what you would like.

Thank you everyone who took part its nice to be able to share the goodies that we brought back, plus it means that my waistline should stay roughly the same for another week of so. Merry Christmas guys xx

Gifts from the Pirates in Orlando - Give Away: Christmas Hamper of American goodness

When we came back from Florida we knew there was going to be a lot of food coming back with us, we had in fact taken a whole suitcase full of food with us in case we struggled to find food for Opeie (we didn't have any problems there). When you go in to the supermarkets you can see why there are a lot of bigger people in the US, I'd be the size of a house if i lived there because i lack a little something called will power. We were there for two weeks so we thought we were well within our rights to indulge ourselves and i took full advantage of all the American chocolate, sweets, cereal and cake, Oops.

But don't worry i didn't forget about you guys back home so while frequenting Walmart, Target and Dollar tree we started a little collection of food for a give away. A hamper of all American sweet stuff that could be yours including: Lucky charms, BabyRuth, Twinkies, Jolly Ranchers, Big Red, Tootsie Rolls, Milk Duds and plenty more.  All you need to do is say hi in this post and tell me what your favourite American food is, then check back on the 14th of December to see if you have won (if you would like to leave your email address to make it easier then please do), Simple. If you are the lucky winner then you will get the package just in time for Christmas so that you can gorge for a few days guilt free because everybody pigs out over Christmas, that's what its there for. (I will get Seth or Opeie to pick the winner at random).

All i need to say now is good luck
