Just out of curiosity, is there a figure for how many people applied?

I just phoned RLec they said about 20,000 applied so it looks like only roughly one in every 22.22 peeps who applied will be lucky.

Not sure if it makes us feel better but I guess that makes the chances higher than those of Martin :money:undoing his shirt live on Daytime TV again!

Thank to Saetna, lesson learnt there - I was only looking at the front end of the forum subject not the most recent at the end!

Still good odds if you think about, when normal national competitions can have millions of people trying to win just one prize.

20,000 people for 900 appliances

I really hope I get a fridge freezer. All my freezer drawers are now broke and I cannot defrost it as Im worried that it wont work anymore. The fridge part is also not working so we have to be careful of dairy products. Another few weeks and Ill know. Then I can go buy a new one if Im not successful........its the waiting thats a problem.......

I made that mistake last week the old thing was on its way out anyway and the noise it makes upsets the guy who lives upstairs! (his bedroom is above my kitchen), I defrosted the freezer and now the darn thing wont stop getting colder, it was -10 in the fridge before I noticed!! Now I just regulate the temp by turning it off and on at the wall every few hours!! I soo need to be lucky here and get a new one.

One thing I am confused on, where is everyone getting the 20,000 entries number from? I thought that aside from MSE there are people who visit the site without joining and mail links to friends who are also not members, people who have several email addresses... Am I alone in thinking there are probably (alot) more then 20,000 entries?

Have you tried getting one of those timer devices which your suppose to plug lights in to come on at certain times to make it look like someone is home when your away? B&M do them for a couple quid.

Has anyone on MSE been lucky yet? Or when do they start shipping them out to the lucky ones???

A lot of moaning from come people on this thread, which is a bit of a shame.

You have the chance to get a FREE fridge. If you win, you will be told in the first two weeks of November as the NPower rep says. I don't quite understand why some people are getting so anxious about the whole process. Demanding a list of who wins etc - why do you care so much about who else wins?!

If people are sooo desperate, then just buy one. It's a competition, not a basic human right.
