    I had the same last month, nothing to say where it was from, no compliments slip or anything. Just an iPad in a box.

    Please sprinkle some of that lucky dust on me. :D

    Hope everyone is having a good day. At least there is one little piece of good news - Govt has postponed the 3p fuel tax increase until January.
    Our new car is really good on fuel and with petrol prices falling we have really seen the difference. (public transport rubbish here)
    Have to go to hairdressers to pick DD up later as she is getting it styled for our holidays. How is it my hair cuts cost £6.50 and hers cost £20? Just as well she doesn't go often.

    Just trims tend to be cheaper. Re-styles (even if it's just putting layers in) tend to be more expensive. :p

    Afternoon everyone.:wave:

    Postie bought my More! magazine and some things that DH ordered so no wins. :) Did you see the post by someone on IWIWIW where an iPad just turned up without any notification of a win?! That must have been a surprise!

    This happened to me about a year ago an iPad2 turned up and I did not even have to sign for it. Never found out where it came from.

    A wonderful suprise.
    Be Lucky Everyone

    Hope your OH manages to stop smoking Jane. Never smoked myself but I have seen other peeps struggling to stop and being really grumpy about it! The cost of smoking must be horrendous now.

    i had a lappy delivered about 5/6 years ago & didn't know where i'd won it from :eek: no notification/paperwork etc, took me ages to trace where it had come from, in them days on here we didn't have a 'thank' or 'enter' button so unless you actually remembered entering or had it written down/in a folder (which we were entering hundreds a day) it was quite difficult to find out :eek::D
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I just don't understand why a company would send such a big prize without a notification! What if it got lost in the post or something happened to it?! :eek:

    Although, I wouldn't mind an iPad just turning up in the post. :D
