'Pass the Parcel' game sounds fun. Do you guys think it is too late to join and understand the rules!

I would like to join and risk getting addicted to the game :eek: but not sure if the end date is nearing!!! Also not sure where some rules are such as the number if parcels you can create, winning chances, etc ?

jump into the thread on game over, they have just chaged prizes, so we should have at least a month to go!!!
rules are on site but i dont think there is anyone playing that actually sticks to it xxx Prize chance is slim, unless they have a chuck out day, which have been over the last 2 weekends when everyone pretty much gets a win or several xx
go for it, its a fun comp, but warning is very addictive xx
u can add me, though im comping elsewhere at mo xx

Are you also changing the option 'sort by' to 'thread title'?

I'll try that. Thanks

I have just discovered The Independent's Heads or Tails game in the paper to win £10K/car/dream holiday - a bit more info here if you're interested... It seems quite fun so thought I'd have a go when it starts again on Saturday now I've missed this week's comp.

Anyway, I spotted in tiny print in the T&Cs in the paper that you can enter for free via email rather than text in, and I was wondering if anyone was playing this way?

If so, do you still have to send the last 3 digits of the paper's barcode with your answer? And do you still get sent an email back the next day saying you got the answer right and are still in the competition? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've had a niggling problem ever since installing AVG anti-virus and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it (before I go on the Techie forum).

I used to be able to enter an ITV comp, press the back button and get the blank form back, so I could enter again. This is no longer happening and I just get "page expired".

Just wondering if there's a "quick fix" anyone knows of

Barnabysue

I use AVG and clicking 'back' takes me to the blank form, so it's possibly the settings that you have on AVG and not the programme itself that's the problem.

Thanks Sue

Wish I was more "techie" minded, haven't a clue what I'm doing here. May have to visit the Techie forum ...

Not sure if this is the right place to post my question but please could someone tell me how to set my profile so that my 'this will be mine in 2009' and any wins (chance would be a fine thing - never win anything) will appear under any posts I make. I've looked and can't see how to make text appear. Thought adding as my signature would work but it doesn't appear to.

I bet that I post this and my signature appears.

There! See! I told you! Must have been having a bad day when I couldn't get it to work yesterday!

Can I ask all your compers a question about a win....all points of views gratefully accepted...
I won a Years supply (which was then upped to 2 years for a delay in posting the win out!) of Weightwatchers deserts/yoghurts. I received the vouchers today and they're all there (2 books worth!) but the only problem is they all have an expiry date of 30.06.2009.
Now while the quantity of vouchers may last 2 years, given the expiry date is less than 6 months away, it's kinda unfair as they can't be used. Am I being unreasonable in emailing the lady and pointing this out to her? :huh: I don't want to sound ungrateful as it's a lovely win (also got a Champneys gift set with it, a MyChild comp).

Would you email her back and point out the expiry date on the vouchers? :question:

reetnproper

I would most certainly email her back. If the prize is for 1yrs (upped to 2yrs) then they are obligated to honour those terms. Chances are that they just haven't realised OR maybe they're sending your prize in 6 monthly installments. Either way, I'd be contacting them.

Regards
Reet

Barnabysue

I would too, if effect they've only given you a 6 month supply haven't they?
