    I've just pm'd back - I'm a complete div! I read it that you wanted names to listen out for, but you're in the same boat as me!

    Hopefully, Bella can help out - good luck!

    Ooooh - I've entered in this again & pm'd my details over to PP and Bella in the hope that they don't mind me being cheeky - bit difficult listening to the radio with a Mini Rab & a Baby Rab in the house - unless it's Tom & Jerry, he's not happy!

    SFH - you got a biggie last time, didn't you? Good luck to all - over a month, we should get some winners amongst us - :D:D

    I always wondered how people ever won on that competition - I mean, who listens to the radio all the time just in case their name gets read out? :confused:

    But now I understand!! There was a whole troop of MSE'rs listening out for each other!

    I like it, and will do my bit my listening in the morning for names being read out (no radio at work I'm afraid)

    SFH - I've still got the old forum saved for some reason, but there's nothing on there apart from the name at the moment . . . maybe Happypig can reinstate it, or start it again?

    Really appreciated it last time :D

    It's not just MPs who have expenses...
    If you've had enough of MPs getting their bills paid by the taxpayer, now's your chance to get your bills paid by Capital. Whether it's a credit card bill, phone top-up, holiday with the kids or even getting your moat cleaned, Capital will be paying your bills from Monday - so register now for your chance to play!
    How to play:


    All you need to do is enter the details on your bill by following the correct link below - give us as much detail as you can, and each day we'll make a random draw of people to play. If you're lucky enough to be picked to play, we will read out your name on-air. Then you'll have 30 minutes to call us (on 0207 4848 958 ) to get your bill paid. If you don't ring us within thirty minutes, sorry, you've just lost your chance!
    Remember, you can only enter each category once, but you can enter all four categories if you have four different bills that need paying. Good luck!

    The following rules (“Rules”) together with Global Radio’s general and competition terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) (which can be found at capitalfm.com apply to ‘Pay Your Bills’ radio competition ("the Competition") which will run from Wednesday June 10th to Friday July 10th (“the Duration”). The "Radio Station" is 95.8 Capital FM.
    Anyone who enters the Competition (an “Entrant”) will be deemed to have understood these Rules along with the Terms and Conditions and will be bound by them. The Terms and Conditions are available on request from the Radio Station.

    Entrants are allowed to place one entry in all four categories.
    1.2 Contestants for Tuesday to Friday executions will be selected at 1pm the day before they are broadcast. Saturday, Sunday and Monday contestants will be selected on the preceding Friday at 1pm (ie contestants can register throughout the weekend but will not be eligible for selection until Monday at 1pm).

    1.5 The presenter will read out the NAME, TYPE OF BILL and the AMOUNT of bill. Said person will have half an hour (30 minutes) to contact the station on the studio phone number in order to claim their prize (0207 48 48 958). No other form of communication will be acceptable and this call must be made in person by the named entrant.
    1.4 Security checks will be performed when a claim is made to the prize. This will be a combination of address verification and recall of a password supplied by the contestant at point of entry.

    A month!! I start my new job in a few weeks I doubt they'll let me listen to capital all day! Have entered anyway!! Maybe we should put a list together of peoples names so we can notify each other if someones name comes up?

    I've set up a spreadsheet with names, telephone numbers and locations (as well as bill amounts if possible) which I'll give out to two or three other people on here on Sunday and that way I/one of the other people with the list can notify someone if their name comes up.

    If anyone else wants to be added to the list PM me your details but please only do this if you are happy for your details to be shared with a few other people. I will password protect the document but obviously I cannot control what people will do with the information.

    Hope that all makes sense and good luck to everyone :)
