    Send name and address for giveaways you wish to enter on a postcard, one postcard per giveaway.
  • I am very lucky... I work for a postcard company already mentioned in this thread and we're allowed to help ourselves for 'personal use'. I think I've saved a fortune!

    As long as your piece of card can survive a rough trip with Royal Mail, use it. My only advice is never to use pinking sheers to give your card a 'rough edge in teh bag so the judge will pick it out'. I used to handle comp entries for a supermarket magazine and got numerous papercuts! Needless to say, I never drew them out of the bag for this very reason :j
    Best wins: Luxury weekend in Russia, family holiday to France, catered BBQ for 20, Selfridges shopping spree, jolly to Majorca, £1,000 See Tickets vouchers, £500 John Lewis vouchers, five-star weekend in Provence!
