    Yeah, I had one of those last year and I was immediately sus when it sounded like the operator was in a call centre. I never got excited, took down the number, and checked on here that my suspicions were right. Which they were. They shouldn't make you ring another number - they should bloody ring you, the gets!

    Definitely NOT the blogger at Katie and the Kids, OK?

    The main thing to remember with these time share companies is that they never use the words 'you have won' when they ring and offer you a holiday. They always say 'you have been allocated' or 'you have been awarded'.
    That's the golden rule and something to definitely remember in case you get another call :)
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small
