Hi i wonder if anyone can tell me anything about the competitions this company does, i have letters telling me i have won a prize which could be worth between £650 and £65000.00 the thing that makes me wonder is each letter that comes you have to put in another order:o ?:o. I wil soon be able to open my own Garden Centre:mad:

a google search got me this from the website

http://www.spaldingbulb.co.uk/Customer/Article.aspx?article=PrizeDraw%C2%A365,000

it says the draw ends on december 2010 and a order is required, so it sounds like the winner hasn't been drawn yet

going2cry (i hope you don't - got no tissues on me ) Don't worry about putting things on wrong threads, we all do it. Go back to the thread, and click edit on your post. You can delete the message by ticking the delete box. The Misco elf comp. is already on here posted by sid77 in October. I wont put a link, in case of duplication

I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed but with competitions that end at a certain time of day (eg 10/11 @ 1pm) would it be better if these had an end date of the day before in the title? I'm thinking of those of us who work (today's my day off btw ) and only do comps in the evening. I tend to do my comps ending that day and then the ones for the following day (if this makes sense) and find a lot of comps have already finished.

Perhaps I just need to do more comps in order to catch up :rotfl:

How do others feel about this?

Entered for a low cost and there was another free competition attached to enter - do they normally do these now?

i agree, a lot of comps get pulled as the beginning of the day they end...so if your not at least a day ahead and are entering on the day they end you have missed out. some its not obvious, but some specify a time, like some itv ones say 6:20 am (day break i think) others ar 9am, or noon ....setting end date to day before wouyld ensure that people dont miss out.....but thats kinda down to each individual comp poster and id suspect very difficult to either enforce or get (some) posters to agree with.
