Here is their reply

Thanks for your letter and press release. I have passed it on to our features team to look at for our family page on Fridays.
However, do you think I could run your covering note as a letter on the letters page as well?

I hope my letter although based on male cms .(Ive done an article and covering letter ) will help promote all cms in Gareths area ???? wishing you all a bit a luck..Even if it means Gareth getting enquiries he can then pass on your details when he gets his first mindees..Will let you know if they get printed....:thumbsup: At least they responded and seem interested....:clapping:

http://www.northantset.co.uk/

That is it but they only tend to put the main headlines on the site. If we have the photo code then you'll be able to view it in the section where you can buy copies of the photo.

[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]

Well done fingers crossed the phone starts ringing. :clapping:

[misst104]

When they did my one they said it was going in our Friday paper that you had to buy so I thought that is handy not too many people will see it, only to get a phonecall from someone saying heh you are in the free paper, and every blooming house for miles had it!!!!!!:blush:

My ds still laughs at my embarrassment, but DDC go for it take it all the way!
