  • I missed a phonecall earlier and wondered if I'd won... They haven't called back so this makes me feel better that it probably wasn't anything important.

    I also missed a phonecall from 02034760843 earlier - I googled it and couldn't find any "spam" reports so thought that maybe just possibly (in my wildest dreams!) it could be from the Times and that I could have won.
    If it was to sell me a subscription I am glad I missed it!

    THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TAKE TIME TO POST COMPETITIONS :beer:
  • I have just had an email from Times. I have won the Ipad and your not going to believe this the I phone comp as well!!!!

    Wishfull thinking...

    Only joking, im trying reverse phycology lol. I wish i had won but havent heard anything so assuming not as i won one a few weeks ago through times and heard back by Lunch time on the Monday.

    They won't necessarily ring for the iphone comp anyway as phone number was optioanl. It was compulsary for the ipad comp though. I always tick never buy and not had a sales call from them yet
