Googling your name - for comp wins

1235

Comments

  • I regularly google ny name too using screen name for some sites or firstname + surname + comp winners/winners list. On Friday I found out that apparently I won the Advent Calendar comp from My Celebrity Fashion on 25 December 2008 so I immediately phoned them (top prize worth £200). The lady couldn't confirm whether it was me for sure but she said that they were still catching up on all prizes won during the Xmas break & contacting winners ... Fingers crossed it's really me. Will keep you posted.

    I've just googled my name and winner and found that two other people are regular compers with the same name - one from Blackpool and one from Armagh - Stand up and declare yourself who ever you are!!!!!

    Might revert back to my maiden name which is so unusual nobody has won anything under that name!
