    Try above. Sorry - I've not posted a link before so I hope it works.

    For future reference, look in "Game Over".

    Not sure it makes a lot of difference but:

    FYI:

    Dear Catz ,

    We have launched a brand new website, bringing together 6 of the best-loved magazine brands in the UK.
    This includes Good Housekeeping, Prima, Country Living, Coast, House Beautiful and She, giving you more
    of the content you have come to expect.
    You are a registered member of 2 or more of these websites. You now need only one set of log in details
    to access all 6 of these magazines online.

    (then gives a link to click to do this) :)

    What's the best way to send to send postal competition entries?

    Perhaps the answer is "cautiously". Has anyone else been reading the thread on Loquax about used picture postcards? These postcards, sent in to competitions, are not being destroyed after the competions have finished but passed on to various people and ending up for sale on Ebay and other places.
    The OP was alerted when she was texted by a strange man who had bought a postcard with her details on it and who thought she had a "pretty name".

    A bit worrying.

    :hello:


    Just to let you all know that I am doing the Game Overs up to and INCLUDING tomorrows as I am rather busy this week and won't be spending too much time on here, you can still enter tomorrows comps from the comps ending thread even though they will be in Game Over


    Have a good one folks


    kips :)

    Hi All,
    Just been phoned by My Offers saying I have been awarded a holiday and I need to call an 0800 number. Called it and it was answered by Club Costa so gave them ref number and had to confirm I was married and owned my home and they said I had indeed been 'awarded' (not won which I said and thought was strange...). There is a £30 booking fee per person (! won a holiday before and that never had a booking fee) and I will have to attend a 2 hour speech/conference thing...
    Anyone else had anything like this? or gone ahead with the 'award'?
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Cheers.
    Sometimes you get what you deserve... :cool2:

    :eek: My sister used to sell timeshare and this was exactly the line they took when approaching new customers. I'm not saying that's what this is but I would approach with extreme caution. The 1-2 hour promotion would last 5-6 hours with no refreshments offered and in the end 75% of punters would sign up just to get home. Laws are much stricter now but I think the ethics are still the same.:sad:
