    i think this has been mentioned on MSE before but...

    i wanted to post something about facebook competitions and the use of the "other" tab in your messages within facebook. This is where most of the companies send you emails to - you dont get a email to your regular email addresss when this happens!

    i checked my facebook mail yesterday and found the "other" tab, in which i found i had won 2 prizes - didnt claim for one so they re-drew the competiton ( a bit gutted but ive learnt my leasson)...


    i wonder how many people dont know about the "other" tab... and therefore how many people have missed prizes...

    any ideas where to post this ? or is this the correct place?

    thanks

    Thanks for the tips on the tesco one, thought I needed catalogue ofr numbers!

    Princessmoneysaver mentioned this the other day baudsley too, I hadnt realised neither! Although I am only just starting to enter lots more on fb so didnt expect any hidden wins!

    Here's on of my bro's jokes...

    Jack and Jill got married. Jack says to Jill.."Try my trousers on".
    Jill says "Your trousers wont fit me they're too big!"
    "Exactly!" says Jack. "I wear the trousers in this house so dont you forget it!"
    Jill replies..."Try my knickers on"
    "I'll never get into them!" says Jack.
    "Exactly" says Jill..."and if you dont change your attitude, you never will!" :D
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Hi i try to find holiday comps to post here however i have a problem with this one:

    http://www.lakelovers.co.uk/

    They just ask for email address in the bottom left. The problem is a cannot find any t&c`s or end date, i cannot find it posted here before either. If i were to post this how would i do it.

    Thanks in advance an sorry if this is in the wrong place.
    It`s getting to the point

    Thanks for this.

    I had no idea about the "other" tab and on looking just now had 55 messages in there. None were winners.
