    Does anyone know how much the texts cost?
  • I'm getting really annoyed now!!! just had MORE postcards returned... on these ones I had my address in tiny letters sideways, had a big from above it & the address it was going to was in the correct place in big bold letters with a big TO above it :mad: its wasting my money, I've tried everything! it must be my local sorting office or something.

    I would go to your local sorting office and ask what you are doing wrong and ask for compensation as you could have missed out on winning a prize
    (they usually give you a book or two of stamps:rolleyes:)
    :) If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours, :)

    :) It wont cost you anything! :)

    Can't find anything, apart from this posting by same person on another forum:
    http://www.babyandbump.com/freebies/86807-win-holiday-greece.html

    However, address looks legit (postcode is actually HP19 8RR), and appears to be a promotions company (lots of previous comps for well known names).

    I put from, but also write mine diagonally but not set out like an address, so it just looks like normal writing:-

    FROM
    Ms C Chicken, 99 Chicken Street, Chicken Town,
    North Chickenshire, CC99 9CC

    Don't know if that might work?

    I don't want to be picky, but do you have any website link at all?

    You lot really surprise me. Brand new poster posts a comp, with no details, which is going to cost you an unknown amount to enter. And you do :eek:

    You could be paying £5, £10 or more:rolleyes:

    Has anyone else seen this comp:confused:
    You could always go the postal route, then you're only out a stamp :)
    Lots of luck to everyone! Hope good wins come your way!

    Thanks peeps, I did todays postals a bit different, I put my address diagonal & put my county after the postcode as apparantly the sorting maching wont recognise it this way. Fingers crossed!
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:
  • xoxlauraxox I usually put my phone number after postcode HTH
