The standard will be very high and I don't think I've got a story good enough. Maybe next year...! <br />For me, I think £5 is about the maximum I'm prepared to pay to enter a competition. As others have said, there are plenty of free ones to try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323608100391663677.post-23298146472932789392012-09-18T09:47:01.227-07:002012-09-18T09:47:01.227-07:00Thanks Julia, Patsy - agree that there are plenty ...Thanks Julia, Patsy - agree that there are plenty of free competitions to enter out there.
