Win with Duracell

Posted on July 18, 2013October 4, 2014 by jenny

It seems that I’m not alone in having a bucket list. Apparently over half of the UK has a bucket-list of lifelong goals, whether it’s to row across the ocean or simply learn how to cook dinner for two without setting the kitchen on fire! However, as I well know, chasing those goals isn’t always…
