I actually tried to enter this but kept getting the error message "Submission must be in .doc format"
It was a word doc, ending in .doc, so I don't know what the problem was. Oh well, I'll go and spend my fiver elsewhere
That's weird. Is there someone connected with the comp you can email?
Ah, frankly Kate, I couldn't be arsed. There's plenty more competitions for me to throw my money away on!
