Tea and Marmalade

by · Published · Updated

Considering the amount of grumbling I’ve been doing lately about Pinterest and voting competitions, I’d forgive you for thinking my sense of humour was on a short holiday. But never fear, it’s back with a vengeance and for two consecutive weekends the tripod and camcorder have been out and about, the cross-dissolve filter in iMovie has been massively over-used and the neighbours have been most concerned about my comping antics.

First up was a last minute entry to the Europcar ‘caraoke’ competition, with Lisa’s mum Betty taking a starring role as we warbled through ‘Lady Marmalade’. This delightful video won Lisa a spa day in the weekly prize draw!

And this Bank Holiday weekend, Rob and I did much rummaging in the fancy dress box to create this homage to ‘Homeland’ for the Yorkshire Gold tea competition. Let’s just hope the judges know what the hell’s going on.
You still have until Thursday 31st August 2012 to enter this one, which has three prizes of an overnight stay in Harrogate and a tea-tasting session – enter here.

Before I sign off, let me tell you quickly about this AMAZING new video competition which got me far too over-excited this week. The prize is £5200 of Ocado shopping and to enter, all you need to do is film a video recreating your worst supermarket experience. Read all about it on the Ocado website and get your entries in by 1st October 2012. Oh, and check you live in a delivery area before entering too… good luck!

I think my own worst supermarket experience was when I couldn’t find the vanilla pods on ‘Supermarket Sweep’, but I’m not convinced there’s enough mileage in that one…
