$100 WINNING LETTER

What money can’t buy

I really admire Tammy Wells’ effervescent personality and the way in which she presents herself in the endless advertisements she makes (26.11.2018). Being able to perform in front of the camera as she does but then switch off for her home life must be quite an art. Growing up in our large family back in the 1940s and 1950s, I was always reminded by one parent, “You’re to be seen and not heard”, many times. This made growing up quite difficult and I found it very hard to express an opinion. Tammy always comes acros s so well presented and beautifully groomed.

I’d love to have her self-confidence. Forging a successful career that enables her to travel must have given a lot of variety to her life. Congratulations, Tammy, on 30 years advertising Briscoes wares yet managing to still keep and enjoy your family life. Well done!

Hazel, Feilding
