    Lots of online comps this month and also a coupon only postal competition.

    If you buy the magazine (£3.20), there is a coupon on page 164 for P&O cruises. If you return it to the address on the coupon, you will be entered into a draw to win a 7 night P&O cruise in an outside twin state room on 'Azura' in September 2010. (Sorry but I don't know where the ship 'Azura' actually sails!)
    Most recent wins: IPad, Jamie Magazine yearbook, Links of London friendship bracelet, Baumatic ice cream machine! :j

    Competition - purchase of persimons (fruit) necessary
    Win a 2 week holiday in Valencia for 2 people. You will receive 14 nights in a 4 star hotel on a bed and breakfast basis., return flights and car hire.

    Not sure if this should be posted here because of having to purchase something but it was advertised in Good Food magazine this month.

    You have to send a till receipt showing a persimon purchase (no particular store specified) and persimon packaging to the following address:

    Persimon Holiday Competition,
    The Promotions Centre,
    PO Box 156,
    St Ives
    Cambridgeshire
    PE27 9BJ

    I presume the persimons have to be a Foods From Spain product. The logo for Foods from Spain is a green rectangle with a picture of a persimon and white writing saying Kaki.

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to ask if any of you have had a few texts today, one a service message and then a message from 02 saying I had no credit, then when I topped up I received a text from a ringtone company that charge £2.50 per month and then some more money was taken from my credit, totalling £2.50. I tried to get through to the helpline but had to leave a message.

    The text came from 82344
    Yep, I just got one too. Texted STOP back and it sent so we'll see if it worked. No idea how they get our numbers, just hope it's not like when people sell email addy's and they've moved onto phone numbers. Really can't afford to lose money off my phone (as I'm sure others can't). It's a rip-off.
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    Thanks for that link. Doesn't look good does it? Don't really want to change my SIM but will if doesn't stop like I've texted.
