Chasing wins
Hi all, just wondered, do you chase for things you have won but not received? I won something and not received but it feels a bit rude to chase for it?! But on the other hand I'm a bit annoyed as I've only won a handful of things and this is the second time I've not received the prize!
Winning a holiday for someone else.
Hi I would love to win a holiday for my parents but I noticed on a comp that it says that prizes are not transferable to someone else.
