    I’m assuming this isn’t an international contest, as it only has a spot for a UK address to be entered? Didn’t see mention in the terms of this being a UK only giveaway so I thought I’d ask about it, just in case I can enter from the US.

      Hi Paige,

      Apologies and good spot! That was a glitch but it is now open to UK, US and ANZ. So please do go ahead and enter.

      Thanks,
      Rose
