Devastating emails... :(

Is there a smiley for rolling around on the floor crying and feeling sorry for self?

I just had an email from coast to say as I had not responded to an email withing 48hrs i have forfeited £1800 worth of dresses :( could cry! thats about 5 times the value of my whole years wins and I never saw the original email :(

Would have been an immense advent win . Thanks to the OP for posting anyway :D

    Oh that's horrible, would have been better if they'd never e-mailed you to tell you, you had missed out. Could you not plead your case, tell ther original must have gone to spam, did they say they had awarded it to someone else?

    Oh dear, have you checked your deleted emails and junk email? If you haven't received it you could try emailing them back and saying you never got the original email, what's all this about, this is the first you've heard about it? Milk it as best you can!

    Feel so bad for you, you never know though a better win may be round the corner!
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    I know :( i honestly truely wish they had never sent me the second email am just gutted, I've found the email now in my spam too, it doesnt even say winner in it or the title and yes they have chosen someone else so I doubt I have any hope of a consolation prize :D I've been in coast today too trying on dresses and found one I loved for NYE - is 48hours to respond to an email christmas week a little unfair?

    clutching at straws ROFL!
