Holiday to America (and warning about emails lol)

Hi all

Just thought I'd let you know that I've just found out I've won a fantastic holiday to America (already thanked the OP :)

BUT I found out by letter, saying I had not replied to the winning email six weeks :eek: ago and had to claim within 7 days or lose my prize.

I just wanted to warn all fellow compers, I know like me you probably get hundreds of emails each day but please, open them all. I've had loads which from the title don't look anything like a winning email but have been wrong loads of times (excellent example above!). I'm lucky not to have lost this prize and would love everyone else who might not be careful as I was not to learn by my mistake!

lol Vic xx :D
MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR
