So not right !

I know a few people commented on the quality of the !!!!!! spin to win prizes. I have just received the two pairs of ear-rings that I won and they really are a disgrace. One pair is actually made the wrong way around and on the other pair the shaft is all gnarled and bent. Both ear-rings are also of very poor quality and would probably irritate. Fit only for the bin !

Quite annoyed that we all gave our details in good faith and such poor quality prizes were sent. The site should be ashamed of themselves !

    I agree the arrings were disgusting. Something pat butcher would wear. And the scarf was so cheap looking. But the keyring, the 2 x fish ones was nice.

  • I won some earrings, then O.H won a scarf but as it's 1 per address he put my mum's address just up the road as scarf would have been for her anyway....she rang to tell me i've a letter there with insufficient postage paid along with a bill!! My mum doesn't like the scarf so given to my nan who is over the moon (so glad about that!) but the earrings was also sent to my mum's house!! (they should have come to mine!) tight or what? they couldn't even be bothered to pay right postage! I haven't seen the earrings just yet so will get back on that one!
    If google doesn't know it, how should i?

    I got a compact mirror which was really pretty and good quality - seems hit and miss with these prizes.

  • i won two pairs of earrings was all excited as well, that was untill they came one pairs odd and made really poorly never mind it was a win even if there not going to get used :)
    everyone is wonderfull well all most :A
  • I actually quite like the earrings although would not have chosen them myself to be honest. I'm just peeved they were posted in an envelope with a second class stamp on meaning i have to pay for prizes :S

  • Got my earrings and scarf through today. Agree at the earrings, scarf has gone into the miscellaneous gifts box for emergencies (one or two rellies that might benefit!). Came in an envelope like others with insufficient postage on, but was just put through my door anyway.

    Got 2 of the scarves - very Bet Lynch lol :D

    They were free so can't complain but certainly wouldn't have paid £20 for them - probably wouldn't have paid £2 really lol
