    Well, I'm home...I think I won the top prize. Either that or I just had a very vivid dream. I am home but still in shock so I suspect I won't believe it until the £2000 (?) PC is delivered.

    Anyway it was a great day and I met some really nice people and thank God for the MSE'ers there or I would have felt totally out of place.

    Hmm, I've just realised I didn't get my travelling expenses reimbursed. I gave them my receipt at the beginning of the event but my total shock at winning meant that I totally forgot to ask about it at the end. Seems churlish to email them about it now - not that I would know who to email!

    As a matter of interest calladan & mnkyhngr, did you get your money back? If so, when??

    The funny thing is that it's the next day and I still can't believe I won!
