I WOULD like to thank everyone at the Bolton Evening News for picking me, the winner of "Pampering for the Day" competition at Making Faces.

I had a wonderful day.

I also would like to thank my parents, Doreen and Richard Taylor, of Horwich, who entered me in the competition, and also Debby, Stacey and Claire at Making Faces for giving me the perfect day. I am a single mum of three children -- Hannah, aged 11, Karen, aged six, and Thomas, aged four -- and it felt lovely to be pampered and just relax for the day, and not having my son going on about fire engines and my daughter going on about paramedics -- as that's what they want to be when they grow up.

Thank you again to everybody for giving me a day to remember and one big thank you to my children for being the best and lovely children I could ever have.
