    befffff and QPR.....Thanks very much...I had a read up on it and to be honest we dont think they have swine flu...Hubby been really rough for 2 days and now feels abit better. so does daughter and she wants to go back to school tomorrow.....:confused: Surely if it was that they wouldnt be able to move let alone thinking of work or school....He said he is still sweating and has a bad chest and cough but no one has had any sickness or diahorea which i would have thought they would....My eldest son is in bed and is just at the worst of it but to be honest me and my other 2 daughters had this last week and it wasnt that bad...Im beginning to wonder if Men Dont cope as well as Women :rolleyes:

    QPR I swear if i see another biccy i will scream...I have a drawer full of the darn things...:rotfl:

    I have bags all over my bedroom. Last weeks may go back to the shop as I have the receipts. Once a MSEr always a MSEr.

    Everything is covered in dust even me, big pile of correspondence to do & phone calls to make.

    Where to start?

    I think I'll do a few daily comps Ha Ha I've yet to win one even a bottle opener but I have my eye on a free night at a Holiday Inn

    It was so mild I didn't believe I really had it until my OH caught it from me and was much worse (man flu??:rolleyes:)...but then I am quite used to being ill. I was bed bound for a day and then slowly picked up over the next 4. Was working from home after 3 days.

    I think the thing that's supposed to help determine it most is high temperature? I also think you're supposed to be contagious while you're still symptomatic? So it may be worth keeping them off work/school unless you're sure it isn't swine flu.

    ooh i hope that's right. will be able to stop worrying once they start to turn up - first winner was delivered to them over 40 days ago now!!!
  • Hi all!!! I have a problem. (So CONFUSED)

    Basically i won a share with Clairelou44 - Was posted the biscuit wrapper. Sent the biscuit wrapper off (have had no issues with previous claims) however...i just recieved the wrapper (sent back to me).

    Right ok...but the original claim envelope is NOT THE ONE I SENT its addressed to bonkers about biscuits however, it is not my hand writting (why?) and my little claim form that i wrote was not in there instead. Someone somewhere along the lines has printed details out on a competition (why?)

    I have no idea why it was sent back to me. Can someone please confirm the address we send wrappers to claim. Im now worried with all this messing about it will not get there to be claimed in time. Im confused at first it looked like it had been returned as if it was an incorrect address or not enough postage but its all totally changed. Hmmmmm!...im stumped.

    Bonkers about Biscuits winner
    P O Box 485
    Wilstead
    Beds
    MK45 3BP

    Although the post office will query the postcode it doesn't really matter, PO Box 485 goes through the sorting office.

    Phone MCVities 0500 011 710
  • Well i'm very confused and slightly worried also but the address is:

    Bonkers about Biscuits Winner
    PO BOX 485
    WILTSTEAD
    BEDS
    MK45 3BP
    Please dont tell me this has all been for nothing! :confused::confused::confused:
  • That is the address i sent it to...RECORDED!!!

    Somewhere along the lines..it has been taken out put in a new envelope with my details (original claim details that i wrote gone missing) and replaced with a printed version (who or why anyone would do this i dont know) BUT the person who did this...put a first class stamp on it...which is why im thinking it got returned.

    Its as if someone has taken it out and done this...at first i was expecting the printed version of "claim" to be in someone elses name. Im so confused its not making sense. Now im trying to think who sent me what wrappers as i also claimed for one in my other halfs name...whats thrown me totally is the date of birth is 18.01.1989 lol i can assure you that nobody i know has that date of birth.

    Wilstead?! That's near me. Can't imagine who's processing the claims then. It's a very small, very rural village. Not the sort of place you'd expect to be the hub of a competition run by a major firm like McVities :rotfl:

    I'm sure it will be fine, don't mean to panic anyone. I've got two claims to send in also when I get the wrappers.

    Any more probs, let me know and I'll send the boys round :cool:

    I would call McVities immediately. It could be that someone else has tried to claim that win and McV is too busy to spot it. Remember the postal service is in a mess, so it may be less secure.
