Hi everyone!
I've not been comping long so have not much experience of this.. but the whole idea of a random parcel arriving at your doorstep excites and bemuses me after the endless hours of entering your details to be contacted if you win, especially when they [STRIKE]can't be bothered[/STRIKE] are too busy to enclose a compliment slip or stamp on envelope to say who it is from..:rotfl:
As the days pass and I enter more comps I tend to view the postman more and more like santa than just plain boring postman who brings me bills..The thought of what he could bring tomorrow is exciting
Anyway, I wandered where the cut off point was for wins turning up unannounced? What has been your biggest random delivery?
I've won a pair of socks, some baby bottles, a cheeseplate, tastecard and red meat cook book.. all relatively small winnings, but exciting none the less.. Anyone had anything big turn up?
Be happy and be lucky :j
