Yes, I thought I was probably not the only one who'd had a few prizes go wrong.

Good luck to everyone who's still awaiting bits and pieces.

Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I absolutely love my hobby and the mishaps have been few and far between.

I am eternally grateful to receive anything.. have won a couple of things so far. My 11yr old son got a phone call to say he'd won a MOTD comp to meet a Premiership football player in birmingham (choice of venues was an option on the original comp) only to get a phone call next day to say they couldn't get a player to Birmingham - would he go to Manchester, which is a couple of hours away for us and too far to trek there and back for a 10 minute meeting. I just wish they'd checked the details before they told him he'd won. To compensate they're sending him a signed card. Big disappointment for a kid

Something for nothing (maybe a bit of effort but not cash) I am happy, so it just comes down to degrees of happyness, not sure how happy I was with this prize....

My worst was camping tickets to T-in -the park (worth £360) which the Royal Mail delivered a card for the day after the event! Still trying to get compensation from them, got the postal panel onto it so you never know. lol

Me & my OH have a great laugh at the randomness of some of the stuff that turns up & even if it's not a great prize I feel that if it makes you smile that is a prize in itself

eg - huge big box picked up from the PO all carefully packed & inside..........1 packet of crisps all bubble wrapped

Won a humax recorder which never turned up company said they had never received my claim but someone in the PR company definately did as the registered it in my name & I get e-mails from humax with the model & serial number of my 'win' telling me which updates I need to download to it:o - I just always think that the person who took it must have wanted it really badly & hope they are getting use of it

I get excited with everything that turns up & love comping - I usually find that the smaller prizes are the most usefull as they are the ones that save me money - mascarra's, lippies, mouisturiser etc

luckily my prizes have been lovely. the only ones that spoiled it really were the Rod Stewart tickets that never happened and also received an email from Good To Know saying id won a pressure washer and have still not received it and no response to emails etc

Same here with the Rod Stewart tickets, especially as it was one of my first wins :mad:

Also won £450 (allegedly) worth of Asos stuff on the Magnum comp which were almost all a load of tat :rotfl:but apart from that still loving the excitement of comping and grateful for any wins that come my way
