12 Days of Christmas (and some) – Prize number 27

‘12 Days of Christmas‘ competition.

Here is the 27th Prize in our competition. As you can see we have now gone beyond the original 12 days that we planned but we have had far too many prizes to cram into just 12 days, which is a good thing! We’ll keep on going with 2-3 prizes per day until we are done. We’ll have give away around 40 prizes once we get to the end!

I suspect that this is one of the more eagerly awaited prizes! So here we have a brilliant Qtek 8500 Smartphone to give away! This prize is worth over £200!
