    I don't know if im in the right place for this question but here goes. I have just had a phone call from someone on behalf of safire studios saying ive won a competition for a make over. She was verry convincing & was talking for a long time about all the lovely things that will take place like wine, make up, photo shoot.

    Ten she booked me in for Jan & then gave me a phone number to call if the day wasn't conveniant for me.

    Then she said that she would need to take a payment from me a deposit. Thats when I said Im not interested any more & put the phone down.

    Has anyone else had this?

    Hi everyone,
    Just thought I'd let you know my plan for 2010 competitions and see if anyone wants to join me!

    I'm going to ask all my friends and relatives what they would like me to win them for Christmas - one big gift and one small gift per person. I will then try to enter competitions to win these prizes ready for next year.

    Obviously if they pick something I want too, it means I will have to win that twice over the year. If they pick two smaller prizes - DVDs, games etc. it means they're much more likely to get it! If they pick cash, holidays or food hampers then they've got no chance, they're mine (but hopefully enough cash will make up the shortfall!).

    It's a tall order definitely, but I am hoping if I start in January I will not only have some fab things for my loved ones stashed away by Dec 2010 but I also won't have to face the Christmas shopping crowds!!

    I will be adding my Santa list here as I get it!

    Wasn't sure if this was the right thread, was thinking of putting it in I won I won I won -sorry if it's the wrong place!

  • Love the idea i may try to win all my Xmas presents although i'm not planning to ask people what they want i think it will be too tricky for me if i do it that way. I love picking up new MSE challenges for January :T

    Challenges not resolutions

    Much better for my self esteem and last longer than January
