in I won! I won! I won!
Hi I wondered if you all enjoy finding out you have won..
By WEM..
By LWE..
By WTC..
Or just if it turns up?
I definatly find it more exciting when things just turn up I even tell the courier/postman how excited I am :rotfl: and that I don't know whats in it!

    I love to hear by wtc as you're never quite sure what the prize is until they start explaining :D

    I do love it when things turn up without notification but also hate it because something turned up at the wrong address a while ago and the lady who lives there told the driver the correct address and I never did receive it :(:(

    My sorting office all talk about me as the Competition woman :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Another nice way to find out is to google your name and something like "competition" I've found a couple of wins I needed to chase up that way.

    I am a WEM person myself...I love a winning letter but that can only be at 1 time in the day (when the postman comes) and WTC are USUALLY 9-5 - where as WEMS seem to come in at ANY time of the day - I Love the fact that at any moment a WEM can come in.. and because I am using MSNmessenger it pops up with who the email is from and you try to guess if it is spam or not before it opens....
    Im sad i know haha
    BACK and READY..... waiting on Royal Mail!!!
