Competition time: two chances to win £25 of Amazon vouchers

It’s my birthday today (December 7th). Woo hoo!

So in an unfeasible act of generosity, I’m giving away two £25 Amazon.co.uk vouchers in time for you to do your Christmas shopping. This time, there’s no barrier to entry, since all you have to do to enter the competition – subject to the terms and conditions – is leave a comment below (or if you prefer, email me). No anonymous entries for obvious reasons, please.

Deadline for entry is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday 13th December, after which two winners will be randomly picked from a hat and told how lucky they are.

Incidentally, the prizes are being provided by PromotionalCodes.org.uk, which offers free promotional voucher codes for shops like Argos and Marks and Spencer. Thank them nicely by clicking through (they might offer more prizes): at the very least, you might get some shopping vouchers.
