Big win... bit nervous

  • Well done on your win! You sound a bit like me, I tend to worry about these sorts of things & feel that maybe I won't fit in but I bet you'll end up having a really nice time! You deserve to have a wonderful time as much as anyone else there. If for whatever reason you find you aren't enjoying it, just remember that you didn't have to pay for it! That will out a smile back on your face! Have a wonderful time, and try not to worry! :)

    Have a fantastic time. I won a day at the races in a corporate box with 5 friends, we had a fantastic time although I was very nervous! The funniest thing was when a member of staff thought I was the CEO's wife, I wondered why they were being sooo nice!
    I would be smug in the knowledge everyone else is having to pay...and your not! Enjoy x

    I understand how you feel as I always imagine that they will say 'Oh look at this one here trying to sneak in for a freebie ....' :eek: But it's never happened yet & people have been ever so nice to me. You go & enjoy yourself, we all come from the same place & go to the same place when we're done ;) Any doubts & imagine you have 100 wo/men behind you :D Congrats!
  • Have a wonderful time, and very well done :D
