maybe a win?? (updated)

My other half is looking after my post while i am away. Badly as it happens, how hard is the instruction, look after my post leave it in a pile and tell me if there is anything exciting?

Harder than i imagined. I live in a flat and all the mail comes into a locked box.


He has told me today he has just found a red card from the day the garnier bags were delivered.

11/07 now the post office normally only keeps stuff for 7 days.

I have contacted farnier but the lady i need is out of the office, i was hoping to see if i had won one of the bags.


If not the delivery office don't even pick up the phone. you just get a recorded message.


Then to make matters worse he says, well even if it was something i had won, it wasn't something i had ever had, like that makes it all ok.


gggrrrr i am so mad:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: i am going to burst.

I will update if i ever find out what it is. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Says he only found it today.

    When he had a parcel i arranged to have the items sent in error returned ( i got my mum to post em) and then arranged to get redelivery when we got carded by citylink.


    He knows how much i like post.


    My mum has a good stack of post today, one is a box from virgin vie.
    one i think is her free blood thing for diabetis from the tesco goodie bag.

    The other stuff could be wins

    plain envelope and a small hard backed book i think.

    I am so missing my own post i have started analising hers by looking at the senders address or post mark it's amazing what you can find with google.


    Apparantley i also had another delivery this morning at 7.30 am but he was asleep the card says it wont fit through the letter box.

    I thought it was 7 days for Special Delivery and 14 days for Recorded.

    You can arrange re-delivery online now, the system has worked pretty well for me.

    Good luck, hope you get it sorted out

    phoned up the compaint bit purely cos thats the only option that allows you to speak to another human being.

    This nice man on the other end said my parcel is still there and that i can call back before 11.30 tom, and he even gave me a direct no for the delivery office.

    Very pleased. He said he thought it would have been sent back aswell.no indication as to size though sadly

    I would have tried the redeliver online thing as suggested but the last digit but one was illegible

    Hope it's something nice, and whatever the red card from today is too.

    I picked up my post today from the post office, it was indeed a garnier goody bag i am lucky it would not have been sent back as there was no sender address.

    Excited i am.

    Also at my house was my virgin vie purchase made partly from my £10 win an partly from the free voucher.


    I also won Trident chewing gum and today through the post before i left was a cd.


    Yesterday my mum won some cross stitch houses and trident gum. Good as she is just taking up cross stitch.
