£5000 surely not!

I have never won a competition in my life, but I got the phone call this morning to say I won the This Morning comp on 1st August.

I thought I must have forgotten to check a don't contact me box, or that it was some kind of spot check. The conversation started with did you enter the This Morning competition on 1st August? and are you related to anyone who works for ITV? but then they said you won. I thought it must be a wind up, but my name is on the itv.com site so it looks like its true!!:eek:

That will pay off my bike loan and give me some spare cash!

Thank you to everyone that posts on the competitions forum. I only started going throgh entering comps a couple of weeks ago - I almost feel guilty ..... NOT!:D
Comp wins:
August £5000:D: September: Play.com £5 voucher, Princes Quest DVD (£9.99): October: Dante 01 DVD (£12.99)
