Some of you will recall that last year I won £500 worth of vouchers to be spent on sporting equipment or a sporting activity for my children's primary school.
The radio station ceased to exist when it was taken over by Heart, the the prize provider then refused to supply the prize and said it should have been claimed when the previous radio station was running.
I contacted OFCOM who said that they couldn't help as radio transmissions only have to be kept for 45 days, and the old radio's website didn't exist anymore.
I was really disappointed.
However I recently received an email from Heart to say that they couldn't possibly have the children disappointed and that they were going to provide the prize themselves.
We are currently organising the presentation of the cheque and our local newspaper will be there to take pics and put a report in the paper.
So by the time it all happens it will have taken about a year from receiving my winning letter, to having the cheque presented.
All I can say is - Thank You Heart! xx :T
