Dolphin Tale - film goodie bag giveaway

We were invited to see the family screening of Dolphin Tale in London, sadly it was too far away, but being a film lover, I thought I would share the news, and the love, with this rather generous goodie bag giveaway.

Dolphin Tale has done amazingly well at the box office in the US, beating the re-release of the Lion King. Great cast too.  It was released here in the UK yesterday if you're thinking of heading to the cinema this weekend.  I am going to take my daughter and her friends as a half term treat.   Here is some information on the film, best of luck winning the goody bag!

Dolphin Tale, starring Harry Connick Jnr and Morgan Freeman, is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin (who also stars as herself in the film) and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life.

Watch the Trailer

Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail.  She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter.  But her fight for survival has just begun. 

Without a tail, Winter’s prognosis is dire.  It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist (Connick Jnr), the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor (Freeman), and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world.

Baby Show tickets giveaway

The generous people at Pampers offered me a pair of tickets to the Baby Show.  It's my birthday that weekend and our baby days are gone. Yesterday that true milestone of the end of the baby days was within sight, there was a wee on the potty.  So in honour of these things, I would like to gift my tickets to a more worthwhile recipient.

The Baby Show is at the NEC Birmingham 20-22 May.  So you need to act fast.  Waste no time in leaving a comment below if you want to enter.  The tickets cost £20 on the door.

And as I have mentioned nappies, I'll leave you with this thought.  Why don't they make them with slogans printed round the top like boxer shorts?  My boy would rock that look.  Sorry rubbish photo but I love it.

Competition closes midnight on Monday, UK entries only, one winner will be picked at random.

Don’t forget to leave a twitter name/ blog address so I can get in touch to get your postal address quickly if you are the winner.
