JENNIFER O'ROURKE has transformed her home in just three minutes - thanks to the Evening Times.
The 25-year-old nursing auxiliary, from Renfrew, was the second winner of our fabulous IKEA Trolley Sweep competition - and she managed to scoop more than £1000 worth of goodies for her home.
With three minutes on the clock, Jennifer - who was cheered on by dad Bobby, mum Karen and little sister Amanda - managed to fill four shopping trolleys full of an array of items from the store's Market Hall.
Rugs, paintings and pots and pans were just a few of the items left bulging from the trolleys at the end of the adrenaline-fuelled trolley dash.
Afterwards, an ecstatic Jennifer said: "That was so exciting and I think I got everything I wanted."
Which isn't surprising given Jennifer did some thorough research. She said: "I came down here the night before and made out a list of everything I wanted to get."
She added: "Three minutes isn't a long time and you don't realise just how big the Market Hall is. The time went very quickly."
Dad Bobby, 60, a retired hotel manager, was rewarded for his moral support by a giant map of the world. He said: "I didn't realise just how many things you could get in the trolley in three minutes."
Just like last week's winner, Elizabeth McLachlan, from East Kilbride, Jennifer managed to win more than £1000 worth of items for her home.
There's no need to feel too envious of Jennifer's fantastic prize as there is one more chance for you to win this amazing competition. On Monday we'll be giving another lucky reader the chance to fill their trolleys at the IKEA Market Hall - and all it costs is the price of a phone call or text.
With only one more winner to be announced, the bar has been set high.
And the good news is, that whichever of our three winners manages to collect goods worth the most, they'll win another £400 worth of IKEA vouchers.
As Jennifer said: "It's not bad for a 50p text, is it?"
