WOW! 1st EVER win from this site! Nintendo Wii!!!

WOW!!!

I've only been doing this forum since the email from Martin a couple of weeks ago praising it.

So I came home yesterday to a card from the postie - sorry he missed me. Anyway I went to the PO earlier on, not having a clue what it was for. I brought home a heavy box with a postage charge of £22 on it, still no clues. Didn't even think at this point I had won anything.
Got home, ripped it open, NINTENDO Wii!!!!!!!!!!! With a little letter saying congrats from Leicester Sound!

Big thanks go to Lakshmi7 for his original post.

What a fabulous forum and what great guys all you posters are! :beer:
And here's my hubbie saying only last night why am I bothering - I'll never win anything!!!!:rotfl:

    Well done! What a fab first forum win! Here's to many more. :beer:

    PS £22 postage? :eek: It would have probably been cheaper for them to catch a train and deliver it in person. ;)

    PPS Oh, hang on, £22 is what they paid, isn't it? They didn't make you pay £22, did they?

    I can't believe you waited till you got home to open it, I have been known to run outside giggling like an idiot ripping parcels in the carpark. I do normally have a 6 year old with me so I use that as an excuse.

    Well done though
