comp re blinds

Options
:)Just got a call saying thanks for entering comp, winner now been drawn - didn't say anything about me being a winner, but - to quote "you are entitled towards £250 towards blinds" I said I won't be interested to which he said "Do you mind me asking why you entered comp". Told him I entered because I wanted to win full prize not £250 off some blinds.
So you'll all be getting a call.
Didn't quite catch which company it was - but was via Homes & Bargains I think

    Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T
  • So could we use that £250 and get blinds for up to that amount then or will we have to pay for anything? Getting £250 worth of Blinds doesn't seem like a bad thing to me, then again Im fairly new to all this so could easily be missing something.

    Prob wont ring me now anyway, but I have entered comps for blinds recently as Ive not long moved and need either blinds or curtains for a couple of windows.

    The main word to listen for on call is "towards" so I doubt if they'll just let you spend £250
