If you were possibly moving house sometime in July how soon would you start to enter comps at the new address? We should find out in about 6-8 weeks if we def moving but won't know a date til much nearer the time.

Good question PMS - easy enough to re-direct the royal mail but what about things delivered by courier who just show up (if your lucky enough lol).

make sure you only enter name/contact number (not address) on any comps that don't specifically state you have to and then on the ones that require an address maybe enter at a friends/relatives house. You can't really enter at new address until you have signed contract and are definitely moving. I would start changing address to friend/relative now though as most prizes seem to take over a month to ge to you if they are unexpected!

It's not the amount of time, but the number of posts. I have a feeling it's 15, but don't quote me

I quoted you

I am getting rather discouraged by the amount of LEMs from Pepsi. I think i prefer not hearing anything at all when I don't win.

It's DH's Grandma's house that his Mum inherited when his Grandma passed away, the house needs a lot doing to it to make it habitable for a family to live in so providing we can get a mortgage/loan to pay for the work then we will be moving into it. I can access post up there already & as soon as we have a moving date I will pay for 12 months redirection from Royal Mail but like Chyna-s mentioned it's couriers coming with prizes that worry me so obviously the earlier I start entering comps to that address the least amount of prizes that could possibly go astray. The Hot Wheels items that my LO won came via Parcel Force, they arrived with no indication she had won beforehand. My local Hermes courier is a friend & as my Dad lives on the same route as my current address I know any coming through them will still be delivered ok (she will redirect any to my Dad's address if needed as she did when I was on holiday).

I may be bit slow on the update, but I've only just noticed we're got a "Remove your Thanks" option now...

Not sure...
Do you remember some of the arguments where people have "Thanked" and then realised they backed the wrong horse, so to speak? :rotfl:
Or those where people use "Thanks" as a marker to where they've reached in the thread, then realise their name is then inextricably linked with someone who's being a complete idiot :rotfl:
Just going to try it out on your post above - I'm gagging to test it! ETA - It works! Thanked you again tho !
(I know that you know it's just my burning curiosity and won't take umbrage!) :rotfl:
