they sent me an xmas card with 4 bonus tokens in it...i hope they dohave online entry though cause 1. ill loose tokens if i try and collect them, and 2. i cant stand the feel of newspapers so dont touch them nm buy them.

i have noticed that some comps are the same prize but from a different company. Is it ok i enter a comp for the same prize? (hope that makes sense)

for example there is a comp for a SAD light , and i know that i have entered a comp for a SAD light but it was with a different organisation

Generally you'll be ok to enter all of them ,as posted.The dupes are usually spotted quickly.
It's all just a form of advertising with SAD lights being the chosen product."Plenty" hampers are pretty prevalent as well.

Sorry but I didn't know where else to post this. I have got a card through the post today from the Daily Mail, saying there's a competition to win a dream cottage starting tomorrow and they have sent me 4 bonus tokens.

Says I have to collect 10 more tokens to complete my entry.

Hi Abbafan1972
I think toniq has posted it on here.

For those of you who have won competitions and had them delivered without a telephone call or email do the arrive with your normal post or special delivery??

I'm really hoping that one day something will just appear!

Positive thinking!

I've had both happen, I even once had a very puzzled postman who delivers my letters every day hand me a parcel and it was freezing cold...so I opened it to satisfy both our curiosities and it was a couple of freezer packs surrounding a kilo of welsh cheddar I'd won to keep it fresh lol


Maybe half a dozen unexpected things turned up this year, so there's a chance. You can easily miss an email or phonecall too.

The mail newspaper prints tokens and we usually get an online chance too...but recycling bins can be a cool way to grab tokens on bin day ....as can a friendly newsagent who's sending unsold papers back. Scissors and sneaky if he won't help

Seems a very low number of coupons to me? 10?

Hi everyone. I said a while ago that I was getting close to 1000 friends on Facebook and when I did get there I'd run a little comp as a kind of celebration/thankyou. Looks likely this weekend, and as the lion's share of that 1000 are MSErs I thought I'd make sure people knew about it.
Nothing huge, just a little art canvas (so ladies and gents could both use it) ...and as the rules here prevent me adding it I thought I'd mention it here for anyone fancying having a go.
I'll start it later tonight, here http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1202421871
Details of the prize are there too somewhere...

A simple question, and I think having it last a week to give people the chance to enter would work best?

Nice to to something in return for all the help I've had here over the last year or so. Hope it's OK with everyone.
You don't have to be a friend to post on my wall, so just put MSE on your guess is you like...not doing it to boost friends, just a bit of fun, anyone guessing can win because you'd have to be MSE or a friend to know about it

Have a lucky weekend everyone

Just a little bump, to give people a last chance to have a go.
Some correct answers and clues now. It's done midday tomorrow and the prize came today and is quite nice.
