I’ve had a run of good luck with competitions on Twitter and Facebook.

I received the Sun Sniper strap that I won in an Advent calendar competition – which is still being run actually and you can still win!!

It’s quite an awesome camera strap for being a photog in South Africa actually.  It replaces the normal camera strap, and you screw it into the base of the camera where your tripod connection is.  And it’s got a steel strip built into the strap, and it cannot be cut.

Then, I got a phone call from Kalahari on Friday to tell me that I’d won a 23″ Samsung monitor in a Twitter and Facebook competition where I retweeted about the competition and followed them on FB to enter.  Cool hey?! I’m expecting that to arrive tomorrow, and it was such good timing because I was trying to figure out last week how to afford a second monitor for my photo editing! Now I’m going to have to buy a bigger desk though to fit this big screen How very cool!! Cannot wait to get it!

When I mentioned this to my colleagues today, they said I should buy a lotto ticket
