There’s not doubt that our DoneDealers REALLY love their Mammy’s from huge response we got to this competition!

Everyone had such good reasons to pick their Mammy and it made it SO hard to pick our DoneDeal St. Mammy.  But there can only be one St. Mammy and here she is:

Carmel Corcoran from Dublin 7 nominated by her lovely daughter, Tracey Corcoran

We’ll be in contact Carmel and Tracey to let you know about your Carlton Hotel voucher so Carmel can plan her stay!

We also have St. Mammy’s Day DoneDeal goodie bags for the 5 runners up and those that nominated them! Our runners up are:

• Margaret Murray, Campile, Co Wexford nominated by Liam Murray
• Anne Russell, Roscrea, Co Tipperary nominated by Fiona Russell
• Marian O Halloran, Tralee, Co Kerry nominated by Aine Wall
• Tina Doyle, Kells, Co Meath nominated by Marcie Doyle
• Ann Keaveney, Salthill, Co Galway nominated by Stephen Keaveney

Congrats to all our winners and thanks to everyone that entered.  Also, a HUGE thanks to the Carlton Hotel Group for giving us such a great prize.  Make sure to keep an eye on our blog, facebook, twitter and newsletter for all upcoming DoneDealer competitions!

There’s a busy weekend coming our way with St Patrick’s Day and Mother’s Day falling on the same weekend!!

So to celebrate the institution that is the Irish Mammy, we have decided to create our very own special day, Saint Mammy’s Day!

This month we want you to tell us what your mammy does that makes her a typical Irish Mammy!

We know that good roast spuds with the Sunday dinner is high up there on the list but this is probably closely followed by watching the Late Late religiously and turning up the volume every time the Angelus is on.

Thanks to Carlton Hotels, we have a fantastic prize of a one night bed and full Irish breakfast for two people.  They’ve also given a Rejuvenating Half Hour Spa Treatment to the winner of the best Mammy in Ireland!  

Make sure you nominate YOUR MAMMY (you never know, she might bring you along).

We also have 5 goodie bags to give away as runner up prizes.  To enter: 

• Email your nomination (Your Mammy’s Name) to  competitions@donedeal.ie
• Tell us why your mammy should win,
• Include your name, your Mammy’s full postal address and phone number in the email.

Entries must be received by March 15th 2012. The winner will be picked at random and will be announced on the blog on March 16th 2012.

Massive thanks to the friendly, helpful and generous folks at Carlton Hotels for giving us this great prize for our DoneDealers!

Right, looks like all the pancake training the guys here put in was well worth it!  It was a close (ish) race but of course only 1 can be the ultimate pancake flippin’ racer.

We received 100′s of entries, but only those that guessed the winner could be included in the draw.  Check out the video below to see if your guess was right!

Just in time for Pancake Tuesday, we picked the 5 winners of our Flippin’ DoneDeal Goodie bags which should be with them today!

Alice Healy, Shanagolden, Co Limerick

Sharon Letmon, Koncklyon, Dublin 16

Niamh Staunton, Terenure, Dublin 6

Andrea Hynes Ballinasloe, Co Galway

Congrats to all 5 of our winners and we hope you really enjoy your pancake kit with the fancy pan and all your DoneDeal goodies!

Emer, Melrona, Ray, Shane and Agnes

You all know that things go flippin’ fast on DoneDeal, but do you know how fast our team members are?  For this month’s competition we decided to put Agnes, Mel, Ray, Shane and Emer to the test and see who would win a Pancake Flipping race.

To be in with a chance to win one of five Flipping goodie packs (we have a DoneDeal apron, pancake making kit and goodie bag for five people), all we want you to do is tell us who you think is going to win the race. You can have a look at the start of the race below to see how the guys kinda got on.

To enter, just watch the race video below and email your answer, along with your name, full postal address and phone number to competitions@donedeal.ie before February 17^th 2012.

Winners will be picked at random from all correct entries and will be announced on the blog on February 20^th 2012 along with the full (and funny) video of the race!
