    Hi,

    Just a quick question, the OH popped to Tesco before for some beer and bought me home a prezzie for once, a new magazine called Prize Puzzles. Its got lots of competitions in it and I was wondering if its ok to share it on here and post the answers. The website is called Puzzlecomp.com I know theres lots of magazine posters out there who do a fab job and didnt want to stand on anyones toes in case they were posting it? It did look familiar but I couldn't find anything in the search. No worries if someone's already posting it just thought it was worth an ask.

    Thanks

    Alison

    but i couldn't get back on the site to post it for everyone :(


    since i last posted that one there's this one as well to do/answer as well as the magazine which you've got
    & it belongs to the same site, i have it here & there's some brilliant prizes to be won :j
    i've not seen anyone else post these anywhere else (& i'm always nosing in to see what new mags/posting/who posts what on sites :rotfl:)

    you won't be treading on my toes if you wish to do/post the new mag :A & tbh i'm struggling sometimes now to keep up doing all the puzzles/entering/real life problems etc
    please feel free to post them if you wish :A

    &
    if the usual clever peeps who solved the last one can solve this one for us please feel free to post & carry on with it,
    i still can't understand how it's worked out :D:o

    Hi all, just back from a quick shop and noticed a competition on Wrigleys Extra Chewing Gum (well not actually on the pack but was on the stand) prize is a daily text to win £100 of Topshop or Topman vouchers, now as I felt sure this would be on here somewhere I didn't take much notice of the text number or what you needed to text etc, but I can't find it listed ??
    I did notice it said you need the last 4 digits of the barcode on mine its 2907 - Strawberry Flavour. Can anyone post the details in the text forum if they have them, I can't find the info on the net either?
    Olympics Challenge
    Gold: Cash/vouchers win over £1000 Silver: New computer (would really love a Mac) Bronze: Jewellery
    £2012 in 2012 £597.10/ £2012

    how did they ban you? If you entered a comp would you be taken out and sent an email or something?

    I think they meant banned from E**y - that online marketplace ;)

    THE DAILY MAIL "LUCKY WALLET" < Every one's a winner>> More like everyones a loser!:mad:

    Hi,has anyone actually had a gift from them yet! This was suppose to be sent to them early December 2012 and now March still nothing of this so-called GUARANTEED Prize! What a laugh.... i am not the only one according to their own website there is many with the same question!!

    My father did recieve his free gift and "What a Joke" ! They were the cheapest/cheerfull earings i have EVER seen!:rotfl:
    :TWell done for the "Daily Mail newspaper" for buying in bulk, say 10 thousand or so of these cheap crap which will be sent to most entrants as a prize i guess ,at 1p a go cost for them (DMN)! You really would win a better prize at a fairground..HONESTLY!:eek:

    I am quite angry actually at the state they were and i still myself have not got anything from this so-called GUARANTEED prize! So i am wandering have anyone here won anything yet and did you get something better than the quality of a 1p sweet from them! I am so !!!!ed off with that i am not buying there papers anymore,even a £5 pound voucher would have been a better gift and kepy a many i supoose quietly pleased ! There a disgrace!:cool:

  • Do you think email address name can affect your chances of winning certain prizes?

    for example a childlish email address like Princess_loves_cuteboys@hotmail.com ? or CompetitionWomen@hotmail.com lol over something simple like Isabelle137@hotmail.com
    Won some amazing prizes in the past 2 years :j
    THANKYOU TO EVERYONE THAT POSTS!!! :)

    I cannot see that it will make a difference.My comping email uses a street name(not mine) & a random number.I've won plenty with that :-)
    eg : acacia29@gmail.com
  • Not sure if I'm posting in the right place... But how I find compers on twitter?!
