A very Happy New Year to you all!  Twelfth Night so must get my Christmas cards down but already thinking ahead to February Half Term - diary dates are being added so keep an eye on the Local Events page for ideas.

Thank you to everyone who entered the Autumn Prize Draw. I had great fun giving away a fabulous prize each week and I hope the winners were chuffed! Thank you so much to the following organisations fior their support:

Brentwood Theatre
Just Imagine Story Centre
Tomorrow's Talent Theatre School
Chelmsford Theatres

May I take this opportunity to thank all of you who use the site and to my advertisers who make it viable for me to continue running Totsdays and provide a friendly, local service for young families.

I am excited about expanding Totsdays in 2012! Come and visit again soon. :-)

Asda teamed up with Totsdays recently to find two local mums prepared to test out their Asda Price Guarantee (known as the APG). 

What is the APG?  Asda claims if they are not 10% cheaper on your comparable grocery shopping they will give you the difference.  

To be reviewers for Totsdays was an attractive offer as both mums would be given £100 vouchers each to spend on whatever they wished in the Chelmer Village Asda store. In return all they needed to do was write a review of their experience.

Therefore I ran a draw for applicants and two were selected at random.  

Here is a picture of the lucky ladies receiving their vouchers for their shopping, presented by myself and Jim Clarke, Deputy Manager.

But less from me and over to Anne Horemans & Jenny Lindop.  How did they rate the APG? And does it really do what it says on the tin?  Read their reviews below!

A big thank you to Chelmer Village Asda Store for their kind hospitality.  

Lots of festive events for families here at Totsdays - let the seasonal magic begin!
