Twitter Ghost Story

By Rochelle Symons in Competitions, Friday Steals, News on Friday 22nd October, 2010

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Halloween Giveaway and tweeted their contributions to our Friday ghost story. I think we would all agree that there were some very amusing tweets throughout the day.

Here’s the full spooky story with the winning tweets…

“Deep within the darkest woods lived an old lady. Everyone was scared of her, but no one knew why…It seemed like she had always been there. Generations of kids had dared one another to trick or treat her, the kids would knock at the door, shaking in their boots but never did she answer until one night…

The door creaked open as thunder rolled long and loud from above. Their faces paled and mouths opened in preparation to yell “Trick or Treat” but their voices were muted by the vision of a gnarly hand extended towards them, grasping a bowl of what looked like fingernails and frogs legs.

The children looked at each other in horror. The old lady leant towards them and with a shriek yelled “TRICK”!

Before any of them had chance to move she bent over and grabbed hold of the broom standing by the door. Leaping on she launched herself into the night sky, shrieking and taking with her all of the sweets the children had collected so far.

“Typical” said one. “Mum will never believe we haven’t eaten them all.”


Congrats to all our winners, who have been contacted on Twitter.

Facebook fan’s summer tips!

By Rochelle Symons in News, Top Picks on Monday 19th July, 2010

Last week we shared some summer tips from our Twitter followers on our Facebook page, and we received even more tips from our Facebook fans!

To make things even (we love all of you equally!) we have picked up top 5 best tips, all courtesy of our Facebook fans!

Number 5:

Sarah Potter thinks you should buy a bag for your buggy, and then put all your heavy items in there, shoes, creams etc when you are flying.

Number 4:

This tip is from Vicky Camplin, who says you should buy lots of craft stuff for those rainy days, and days when you can’t afford to take the kids anywhere.

Number 3:

Claire Ferguson recommends doing all your washing at a launderette before coming home from holidays. It means less post-holiday blues, easier to unpack, and no wet beach towel smell!

Number 2:

Tina Millar suggests that you roll your clothes in your suitcase when you are off on holiday, so that you get more in and they crease less!

Number 1:

Nikki Fraser has a tip for all the new mums out there! “Put a sheet of paper on a sealed pack of nappies, and label them up for your destination, then check them in with your suitcase, you don’t have to pay any extra and they don’t get classed in with your luggage allowance!”

Thanks to everyone who sent in a tip, we can see you guys know how to get the most out of summer!
