    Collected my parcel...it was the Mccain sharing bowl, which I thought would be the one on the pic with the wedges in it .. it is in fact a very large salad bowl, white inside and turquoise outside...

    Wud prefer the bowl instead of 50 spuds:o they emailed me & say "we have credited you 50 spuds" maybe I should email back & say - whats the use of 50spuds:D

    Didn't win TV but I got this one :-

    It was feedback/survey that I sent back to GU :

    Gü was founded with the aim to supply really good puds. We're absolutely uncompromising on the quality of the ingredients we use and the way we prepare our products. I agree with your comment that the most important thing about our products is that they taste delicious, but we would also like to package our puds in a way that keeps our customers happy. When we updated our packaging recently, we wanted to inject some life into our mysterious, black boxes, so we added a splash of colour to each design as well as an image of a Gü lady to add some personality.

    I hope that although you are not affected by our packaging, you still love the taste of our puds. I would love for you to treat yourself to something, so I have popped in the post to you a £2 voucher, which can be used in Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons, Tesco and ASDA stores on any pudding from the Gü range.

    Thank you once again for contacting us and I hope you'll continue to be a Gü lover in future! With this in mind, I've also popped in the post to you a little Gü gift, which I hope you will enjoy using.

    Hmm I wonder is it just voucher or they also enclosing a small gift. Will have to wait till Monday to find it out as I used my office postal address:cool:

    Wendy the list it too long for me to post it on FB so I'am posting it here for you to read :-

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    2minutedraw
    4FreeUK
    ABCWins
    ActiveYou
    Clash Club/Clash media
    Club La Costa
    Consumer Lifestyles
    Consumer Opinions
    Craftomatic Beds (Comps appear to be just a way to get a salesman into your home, especially if vulnerable/alone)
    Emailinform
    EZ Prize Giveaway
    Fair Exchange
    FindAPrize (questions raised if prizes awarded, slight spam, non existant company address, dodgy? Info here & here)

    Guide2Win
    InstantPrizeDraw
    Just-Rewards
    Lingscars

    MyFamilyUK
    MyOffers
    NoizeMakesEnemies (Care - your profile with name, address, phone number & email appear to be on show with no way to make it private!!)
    Nuts (comps.nuts.co.uk - comps are now run by the data collecting company Data Media & Research Ltd.)
    OffersClick
    OfferX
    Opinioniser
    Optimax (phone calls, letters & emails!)
    PenicuUK.com (linked to Weatherseal below)
    PickMeUpMagazine (Care: the magazine comps seem to be unaffected, but any comps which direct to comps.PickMeUpMagazine.co.uk are run by the data collecting company Data Media & Research Ltd)
    Premier Christian Radio (lots of postal junk mail even when you opt out of future contact)
    Prize4U
    Prizes.UK
    Plum Offers
    PrizePunch
    RewardsToday
    Simple2Win
    SupremeOGlaze (linked to Weatherseal below)

    Willowbrook (chairs) (have pestered with phone calls quite badly on some comps - see here and also here)
    Win 4 Now
    Win24
    Zenith Windows (linked to Weatherseal above)

    These are the 1 you need to avoid.
