  • I'm a winner too! Going to the Bristol event on Tuesday. So excited - a lovely end to my week.

    Do you think we'll get to select a dress or will it be chosen for us? :D

    do you know anything about the Living Room Bar (if you are from Bristol, that is?)? - is there parking around that area?

    Millennium Square Car Park

    this is the nearest car park, its underground - when u exit the car park the living room is only 1 or 2 mins across the square. The Living Room is a nice bar /resturant.

    me again!
    oh my god, i had emailed sarah on friday evening after i got the winner's e-mail just asking a couple of questions and i included my original email saying about the fearne cotton dress and here is the response i received this morning -

    Hi Karen,

    Great news that you are trying to attend! The event finishes at 8.30pm so I think that it would be OK for you to travel home again. You would not be out of place on your own – go for it! The evening will be lots of fun!

    In terms of train stations I am not too sure. I would Google map ‘The Living Room Bar’ and then see which trains station is nearest.

    Also I am really sorry but there was a mistake in the original email – you will receive a goodie bag, but no dress. Sorry about that!

    Hope to see you there,

    Sarah Lou

    can't believe it - now i'm not sure if it's just me that has not won a dress or if they have notified everybody wrong? i'm a bit miffed to be honest - started to wonder whether to go all that way now if i haven't even really won anything! it's a bit naughty isn't it to tell you you've won something by mistake - i wouldn't have known if it hadn't been for the e-mail i sent back to her!
    this is my first 'win' (or not, as the case seems to be!) really disappointed
    xx

    I have had exactly the same email, there is no dress it was a mistake!
    I phoned her up and asked what had happened because originally I entered a comp for a camera, and then you tell me its a dress, then there is no dress. She was very flappy and said to come along anyway and pick up my goody bag and have some fun.
    I said I was not leaving work early unless she could tell me the contents of the goody bag. She said she would call me back but so far no call.
    I think we should start calling her up and all give her some hastle, vie la revolution!

    Just found my wem! But now find from reading this thread that there's no dress!!

    How can they make such a mistake??

    OMG ! No dress. well before i read this i emailed her to confirm my attendance and asked it it was the itchy comp. She emailed back confirming it was. Now i emailed her back asking about the mention of the pink camera. And guess what no reply. I will update if i get a response. It seems rubbish that there is now no dress when it was clearly mentioned in the original email. Imagine turning up to find that out.
