Email from Barrhead travel regarding win-is it genuine?
I’ve had an email from a Nazire Caliser saying I have won a £100 love to shop voucher in the reindeer game Christmas competition, I’m just wondering if anyone else has had the same and if it’s genuine? The email address is nazire.calisir@barrheadtravel.co.uk which I think looks genuine?

Missing Classic FM advent?
There was a Classic FM advent posted at the start of the month, but I can't find it anywhere - not even in Game Over. I was going to re-post it but wondered if there was a reason it had been removed - or perhaps I'm being dense (always very possible) and it's been there all along?! This is the…

Good Life Plus
Bit of googling shows this is a pay to enter competition website. I've never joined it but have received an email saying I've won and i need to phone the winners line to find out what the prize is. Scam or not? Seems to be a London phone number and nothing comes up when googling it
ITV Winsday

Which competitions should be posted on the Advent board?
Like it says in the title. I thought that board was for competitions which start in December and run daily.

I was fortunate to win 1 x £50 and 2 x £100 this year, the last £100 being this…
Social media competitions that need you to tag someone
I have searched for this before, and shears come up with nothing, but surely others have similar. There are so many competitions out there that want you to tag someone.

Advents
I've just posted a live advent on the Advent board for Cricut UK (craft stuff), seeing as it's still early I thought I should highlight it so that it isn't missed. Does it need to be on the main board as well or just on the advent board?
