Postie delivered - an X-Box!!!!!!!!!

Had a wonderful day today! Postman delivered an X-Box this morning!!! And the Bruce Springsteen lyric book I won from Columbia too!
We entered a comp in my wife's name in hello a month or so back to win a TV & X-Box, but she then got a WEM to say she'd won the makeover comp instead which she hadn't entered. That prize involved going to east London for the prize, which wasn't really practical at the time, and signing over the rights to film the makeover and show it on the internet!! She wrote back and said thanks for the prize, but she'd actually entered the X-Box comp, not the makeover one.
The magazine were brilliant and said it was a computer glitch at their end. They said as they'd already notified her she'd won, they would send her a runners-up prize from the home entertainment comp she'd actually entered. We weren't sure if it was just going to be a couple of games as a token or something - but then this morning a big box arrived and in it was an X-Box!!!
The kids are going to be so excited! We couldn't afford to get something like this ourselves, so this is a lovely surprise!:D
Many thanks to the OP. Sorry the comp was so long ago, We can't remember who you were, but thank you so much for posting! You're a star.:A
