First day back at work and a Red Card!

Well, depressing as it is I went back to work today after 13 months off:(. BUT! the good thing is I came home to find a red card stating "White parcel too big for letterbox".

Now, it could be my "Meet Dave" goodie bag (has anyone else received theirs yet?) or it could be another win - will have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up!

Ohh, can't wait to see what it is now.:p

*UPDATE*

it was the Meet Dave goodie bag - and I agree, not worth £50 but a win is a win.

    It could be the Meet Dave Goodie bag, mine has arrived, and postman had to ring bell as too big for letterbox, but got to say I do not see how they got a value of £50 for them:confused:

    I got my meet Dave goody bag today, definitely not worth £50 IMO. The lunchbag is ok but the rest...:confused:
