Warning to Winners

Hey guys,
Just giving a quick reminder!
I feel a fool to admit it, but i did actually lose a prize last month. I had the usually WEM....you have won blah blah blah then at the bottom it said a big CONGRATULATIONS!
It was only after the 28 days and nothing had arrived that I went to write to them and find out where my prize was. I then re-read the email and way down at the bottom of the email, under the last line of congrats it said, please send us your full adress within a week or the pize will be passed to someone else!
I feel really stupid but as a fairly new comper I am so glad I learnt this lesson on a prize worth £30 and didnt end up losing a Telly or a Holiday!
PLEASE READ WEMS CAREFULLY!
Thanks
Kate
