Postman just bought me a compliments slip from Yours Magazine
It says Congratulations! You have won a prize in Oreck Vacuum Cleaner competition/giveaway from Yours July 1st issue 2008.
You will hear from the PR company within 15 working days (from 11/09/2008)
Then theres a number to call if I dont here.
Only thing bothering me is there is a note saying competition name is not indicative of prize won- you may have won a runner up prize in this draw.
I dont know if thats what they put on all the congratulations notes they send out though.
Have searched and only competition I can find is this one

It definitely fits the bill but theres no mention of runner up prizes?
Wow I hope I have won a new vacuum cleaner.. how cool !!! Wont get my hopes up till I hear something though !!
Thanks to Elverman for posting
