And because we asked for your address to enter - we’re pleased to say the books are already on their way. Efficient. Sorry to those that didn’t win :-(

Our experience of Bloomsbury’s works so far has been as hit and miss as a mystery grab bag that you get from the newsagent. Whilst we loved and praised the gorgeous Magic Under Glass, we hated the artificial and bitter taste that My Love Lies Bleeding left in our mouths. So here we were again, padded white manila envelope in hand with the latest literary offering from the publishing giant, wondering what was in store for us this time. Would it be love at first read or would we be preparing an open letter to Bloomsbury declaring literary war on yet another shitty teen novel? Hit ‘see more’ to see which it’s to be.

Gallagher Girls sleepover pack - and the winner is…

159 comments | Published by Olly Meakings

Congratulations to aimelove whose social circle is now expanding more quickly than a lottery winner’s. You’re the winner of our Gallagher Girls sleepover pack competition.

Our friends over at Gallagher Academy (more formally known as Hachette Children’s books) have once again come up trumps with another great give away. Today’s prize? The ultimate glitz and glamour sleepover pack - containing pampering goodies from Lush, delicious treats from Hotel Chocolat, a pair of pink hair straighteners and some BarryM nail varnishes. Basically everything you bloody need to have an amazing sleepover - apart from the mates. You can supply those, unless you’re particularly selfish and want it all to yourself. Girls (and boys in touch with their feminine side, or demanding girlfriends) hit ‘see more’.

The Rihanna disc winner is…

The peeps at Nokia Music are officially our best friends. Sorry to everyone else angling for the coveted position. They gave us free tickets to see Rihanna’s Rated R Tour (review here), a £500 Nokia X6 phone with unlimited music to give away (congrats Gerard) and today they continue the theme of being amazing by handing over SIGNED RIHANNA MERCHANDISE (disc, Nokia heaphones, two photos) to Team TT to mark the end of her European tour.

Is this article just one long rant about how great it is to get free stuff? Do we keep the goodies, adorning our crumbling walls with pictures of “our mate Ri”? Do we sell it all on eBay just to pay off our internet bill so that we can actually continue to run the site? OF COURSE NOT… we give it to you. Hit ‘see more’.

Even more winners… Gallagher Girl books and Topshop vouchers!

Continuing today’s theme of avoiding doing any real writing and instead closing competitions and picking winners, here’s the people who won our Gallagher Girls £100 Topshop voucher give away. We just can’t resist making your day. Oh, and if you haven’t won something from your favourite teen site (that’s us), you’re obviously more unfortunate than Mini Viva. Sorry girls.

Congrats!

To mark this week’s release of the NYT-best-selling book series the Gallagher Girls in the UK (you can currently see the cover adorning every page of our wonderful site) the lovely people at Hachette Children’s have given us two £100 Topshop vouchers and 10 copies of the first book I’d Tell You That I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You to give away. Hit see more.

More winners - 101 BBQ Songs CDs / iPod nano

2 comments | Published by Olly Meakings

The uninspired and slightly tenuous question we asked to enter our BBQ Songs CD / iPod giveaway was the name / type / recipe of your preferred salad. And you did disappoint. With only 193 bothering to spend the 3 seconds it takes to come up with something like Beetroot and Walnut, however horrible that sounds. In other words, if you did enter, you had a 1/20 chance of winning. Never mind, next time then. The lucky people that did win, also known as…

PS - obviously Thomas / Richard / Lucy / Mark don’t actually come back to check these winner pages. They continue to enter. IN CAPS. EVERY BLOODY TIME.

The sun, the lovingly-prepared salad that no one wants, the undercooked chicken wings… it’s BBQ time and you’ve got it all, apart from the BLOODY MUSIC. If providing the perfect soundtrack to your meat-eating session / vegetarian’s nightmare aka the Summer BBQ is high up your worry list, or more likely you’re looking for a go-to-gift for Father’s Day, do not panic. We repeat. DO NOT PANIC - we have got 5 copies of 101 BBQ Songs and an iPod nano up for grabs. Hit ‘see more’ to get involved.

The winners are… Dad Rocks! and an iPod nano

2 comments | Published by Olly Meakings

Your crappiest ever Father’s Day presents didn’t just demonstrate really low levels of ‘giving a shit’, they occasionally highlighted some rather ingenius methods of finding gifts on the cheap. Like the person who dug up and gave back a plant from their garden, another who gifted promise tokens that were already expired, and finally the person that offered up a brown paper bag and claimed it was ‘filled with love’. Impressive work. Most common go-to mediocre gifts? IOUs, socks, Mars bars, nose hair trimmers, and other stuff shoddily labelled I LOVE DAD.

Congrats!

Dear *insert dad’s name*

Love,
*insert your name*

If this isn’t the Father’s Day card you want to be giving your dad on June 20th read on for the chance to win one of 5 copies of the Dad Rocks! compilation and an iPod nano. Selfish types, we’ll leave the decision to actually hand the goods over to the dad up to you. Ah, now you’re listening.
