Did I SERIOUSLY win the divorce?

Remember the competitition run by a dating site to win a divorce not long ago?

I got an e-mail today saying I had won. If it's real it will be very handy indeed because I actually need it. If not, then whoever is trying to scam me should get an award for making me laugh so hard and long. :rotfl:

Am I really the only one who got the e-mail or have more of you been told you won a divorce today?

    I got an e-mail back, and it seems legitimate. They picked three other winners and none of them claimed. I'm actually thrilled. My very amicable divorce is stalled because we can't afford the fees. I'll be splitting the prize with my husband. :D

    I don't think I can ever, ever win anything as bizarre as this again!

    :eek: I think you will go down in the MSE hall of fame as the winner of one the weirdest prizes ever won here :D

    Congratulations and I hope it all goes as well as possible for you.

    Edit: Just read your post above and I think it's so cute that you will be sharing this with your husband. X

    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Just replied to your post on the Game Over board. LOL how brilliant. Can see why people think it's in bad taste, but I think it's a fab one! Can be ridiculously expensive - and at least this way, it'll be done by solicitors and sorted fairly.

    Well done :D

    2024 wins: *must start comping again!*
  • Congratulations on winning something useful to you, hope its the start of a lot of luck for you x

    How does it work then?

    Do they just give you a set amount towards the fees, or do they provide you with an actual solicitor and whatever it costs they cover?
