Don't you just hate the "sorry you were out" cards?

How many of us now on here when we get one of these cards from the post office or a courier straight away think "oh I wonder if it is a prize"?
We had one posted this morning adressed to my wife. I've asked her if she's ordered something from QVC/Ideal World or a catalogue. Says she can't think of anything. I enter competitions in her name sometimes so it could be a win (ah i wish) knowing my luck get there on Monday and they'll hand over something she forget to tell us she's ordered.
It did come from the post office delivery and not the post man as it came at 7.45 when we were still in bed.

Ahhh why do they do this to us.

    Wife just told me she is waiting for something she ordered from a party she had the other week. Guess it is that then.
