Now competiton winner

I got home from work today to find a letter saying i am a letter with Now magazine and that i have won 20 royal mail smilers.

Was a nice suprise as for the life of me i cannot remember entering a competition for these as isnt really the kind of thing i would normaly enter a competiton for so if anyone has any ideas then please let me know as the search thing on here is a bit naff.

Think these are stamps with different pictures on them than other stamps have?? As you can see i am not too sure myself lol.

Anyway was nice to come home to and i will have to find out how much they are worth so i can update my competiton challenge amount so far.

Think i will be using them to enter some postal competitons & see if i can win some more stuff.
tata.

    I am not sure either. If they are stamps, you could always use them to enter postal comps and win more prizes. :D

    Thanks eveyone and especialy to you hjb123 as it was you who posted the comp in the first place. For some reason i hadnt pressed the thanks button which is unusual as i normaly do when i enter a comp through a post on here (could have been a day the thanks button was not working for me as sometimes that happens) Anyway i have thanked you for it now as was very much appreciated.
    Thats another £14.95 towards my internet costs on the competiton challenge so am well chuffed and hopefully they will help me win some more prizes when i use em to post off some postal comps.
    Thanks again.
