    Hi. I have done the same a few times by mistake. Nothing major really happened. Except keep getting emails from Canadian Pharmacy welling v..gra etc. The thing is not to open them as it just gets worse. They do give up in the end. Good luck. It wont be the last time you do it I dont suppose.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    The thing is, if you are going to seriously get into comping, you will get junk emails. I have a splurge every now and then and unsubscribe to most stuff, but it's really a part of the game, whether you tick the boxes or not :D

    I've done it too, but no major problems. A lot of new comps that are posted on the board are there because people suscribe to newsletters etc. and then get emailed details of new competitions, so you never know, you might get an email that gives details of a competition that nobody else has posted and you will be able to post it to share with everyone.
  • I dont mind the emails. Thats fine! Its just the fact that My postal Address was on there.

    :D hiya blu :j
    it was a spammy email we got every day in our mail :rotfl:
    tara was some sort of fortune teller (or something like that)
    & she used to send loads of us the same email everyday saying she was watching us :eek::eek::rotfl:with a message :eek:
    at first it was a bit spooky :eek::rotfl:but it got a bit of a joke :Dbetween everyone on here, there used to be some postings in the comps disc/compers inn/or wherever on here about her but it's such a while ago they'd be hard to find :eek:

    I feel soooo left out. I want to be haunted by Tara now. I'm as one with you guys re the Canadian Pharmacy, does that count? :rotfl: Thanks for explaining honey-bee :A X
