    Do you check your spam folder regularly - I've had a few WEM's end up in there. Sorry you missed out though.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • Oh what a shame! You poor thing. I agree with Elsien that you must check your spam mail as I have had WEMs that have gone straight into Spam. Here's hoping that you get a good win to make up for it. :D
    Thanks to all those who post competitions! Comping on and off since 2009
    Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm
  • Just to let you all know, i emailed them last night explaining the situation, had a call at 9.30 this morning from them apologising and have offered me the same prize for next year im so exited now :)

    Great result - well done.

    I was going to say that I'm in a similar situation with Cosmopolitan who never informed me I'd won this comp (thanks darcy13 for posting it)

    The 'sponsor' sent me a rather strange email a couple of days before the event to say they'd see me there, but that was all knew about it - the email was full of spelling mistakes and came from a yahoo email address so I was a bit wary - I've been trying since then to get a reply out of Cosmo to find out if it was a legitimate win from them but have heard nothing back - there was supposed to be a goodie bag included in the prize so I was hoping I'd at least get sent that! I think it's one prize I'll be admitting defeat over.
