Win £200. Festive Fivers Competition 2008: The best Xmas pressies for under £5

jiggyquincy

I know this comp is over now but i thought id add another idea into the pot

Name of present? Mobile Phone
Do you make it or buy it? Buy it
Total Cost? £4.95
Details (the more the better)
As mentioned in today's metro, carphone warehouse is reducing the cost of the Samsung B130 from £9.95 to £4.95 apparently making this the UK's cheapest mobile phone. Hasnt been updated on the website yet but here's the link to have a look

Thought this might do as a backup phone or for any young teenager determined to get mobile for xmas.

I am getting quite sad as I really am having trouble contacting Archna to say I am Lovely Lainie and to claim my prize for the Festive Fivers competition. It says in the instructions to click on MSE Archna's name but I do not see name that I can click on.
Can anyone help me?

Lainie...See the above post where Archna has written about the winners? To the left is her name which is in green...click on that and it gives you a list of options...click on 'send a private message to MSE Archna' and it#ll bring up the thing to send her a message. Hope that helps! And congrats!!

Thanks thevicster,

I did do that and have done it a couple of times but have never received a response. When I look at my outbox it has a wee blue closed envelope beside the messages which to me would mean it is unopened but the symbols underneath show that as 'read' and the envelope with what looks like a bit of paper coming out of it as 'unread'! So I am mighty puzzled!

Did you manage to get in touch? I am a runner up and am also having trouble contacting the MSE team.

The first time I clicked on Martin's name (I'm sure it said to contact Martin when I first saw it).
The second time I clicked on Archna's name and selected 'send a private message' but have still had no response.

Is anyone else experiencing problems?
