***THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED***

As no one guessed the 3 facts, the prize will be rolled over to the next competition! Keep your eyes peeled for a new Spy the Lie competition in 2017!

***

Somehow it’s the end of November, so for a little bit of light entertainment as we enter December and the Festive Season, here’s a game of Spy the Lie (I think I might have made the name up!), which is something I normally play with my eldest to try and get him to tell me something about his day at school.

When he gets home I ask him to tell me 3 things about his day – 2 must be true, and one must be ‘not true’ (technically, we don’t call it ‘a lie’). It’s the only way I get to find out a little something about his day, really!

So here are 21 jumbled up (and quite random) things about me, my life or my family – 3 of them are NOT TRUE!

How to play

• Comment below please and state which 3 facts you think are NOT TRUE – no comments on social media please. Only comments made here will be considered, so I can keep track of them in one place.
• The first person who guesses the 3 facts that are not true gets a £10 Amazon voucher directly to their email – and this is not a lie!
• You’re allowed a maximum of 2 entries each – if you guess some right on your first go, I will tell you how many, and you have a chance to change some answers if you want to give it another go.
• Competition will close at midnight on the 23rd December 2016.
• If no one has guessed the 3 facts correctly, the prize will remain unclaimed (and rolled over to the next competition!)
• The Husband is not allowed to play.
