So there I was, half asleep watching telly at 8.30 on Friday night..the phone rang, sister (aka. the lodger) took the call, using her posh telephone voice :rolleyes: Caller wouldn't tell her who was calling, saying it was a 'private call'.
I assumed it would be either someone from the hospital (cos I spend a lot of time there) or my insurance company (with whom I have waged war) so I begrudgingly took the phone and, in my 'not impressed that you've phoned' voice, said hello.
Woman on the other end asked me to confirm my name and whether I had entered an X-Factor comp with ITV recently.
At this point, I became understandably chirpier
Then she said she was pleased to tell me that I was a runner-up :rolleyes: and that I'd won sommat or another - think it was toiletries of some sort - worth £30.
I then had to give her my address so the prize could be sent within 28 days. However, and I blame my medication for this, I can't remember for the life of me was the prize actually was :rolleyes: I was too excited/nervous/disappointed and pleased all at once to properly listen to what she was saying.
So, if you've stuck this story to the end..I'm delighted to have won something but also confused cos I didn't know ITV comps had runner-up
and so won't quite believe it til I've got the prize in front of me.
Any ideas anyone???
Update: Looks like Munchkim found it!! :T Big thanks to sbirks23!! :T xxxxx:A
I'm really happy with that, especially since I had a new 'do' at Toni & Guy last week and a snazzy new hairdryer as well, so I'm gonna be all posh

I love X factor and am glued to it every week, but can't for the life of me think what they say is the runner up prize??
umm.... if they mentioned toiletries then I know there is X Factor perfume out! could it be that???!!
Hope it's something nice!

Wow, iI guess ITV really are having a struggling in the credit crunch if they have reduced XFactor prizes to just £30
Seriously..I hope it is a genuine call & you have won something!
