    I've just had this email from them:

    Thank you for your email to Take a Break.

    Please accept our apologies for the error that you encountered when trying to enter the competition. Unfortunately there was a technical error which has now been resolved. We try our best to ensure that everything works as it should but due to the constant changing content on the website, we sometimes have the very occasional technical error. Unfortunately you will need to enter the competition again via a different method. Please see details of this on the entry coupon in the magazine.

    We are very sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused and we hope that you will continue to read and enjoy the Take a Break Series in future.



    had the same email & reply when contacted them,
    as the closing date isn't till January, i'm holding off entering until nearer the date, they should have it fixed properly by then :D


    the only other entry methods are text (25p)

    text TSS8 then a space followed by your name, house number
    or house name & postcode, then your answers
    all separated by a space to 80088


    phone 0901 022 0699
    (25p per min (average call costs 35p)
    when asked for the Issue number key in 8


    or fax (25p per min from bt lines)
    0901 022 0625
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • :( Didn't see last post and have just re-entered online, no doubt i wil be disqualified even thought it's their fault :mad:

    Might be helpful if the OP edited first post, saying a different method of entry is now required for those who entered when the form was playing up;)

    I have edited the first post but from what I can gather they only accept your first answer anyway, which probably means that every single one of us that entered when the form was wrong will be disqualified regardless of how many entries you done after! :mad:
  • They only except your first online answers. In their competition queries section it says 'Unfortunately as this is a FREE service we cannot accept responsibility for any entries submitted in error. Please therefore submit your entry by one of the alternative routes, ie by post, phone, fax or sms.' Plus the woman who you spoke to said that it was o.k to submit your answers via a different method so i think that we should be alright as long as we don't use the online method again.
  • so just to clarify - is it only people who entered BEFORE the 22nd ( when the form was playing up) that should re enter or everybody?:o
