My first win ooops

I've entered a compertwition and won!!

Luxury wet shave in London, don't remember entering but It must of been when I'd took my meds cos I usually skip coms tht need me to travel.....ones that need me to be a man too!

What should I do? Tell them to offer it to the next person? I got excited when I read the tweet, thought it would of been some luxury lady razors, boo!

I'm guessing I can't pass this on to a member ere some how? Xx

  • Oh dear. I saw that comp but decided it was a long way to travel for a shave and a hair cut? I would ask them to re-draw. Congrats anyway.

    I think it was a shortlist or stylist one - saw it yesterday and don't think I entered as couldn't be bothered to read it it was transferrable. Didn't fancy going for a wet shave myself ;) (hmm, wonder if they'd have done my legs!).

    I'd just get them to re-draw it - but if there's anyone you know who would definitely use it, see if it's transferrable.

    I was thinking of getting the voucher and just passing it on to a friend, I know my friends brother lives in London, I looked at the barbers website and its worth £45, I know someone would love it.

    I just don't know if I'd dare give him my very up north address, im 5 hours from london and my name on twitter looks like a mans name so I deffinetley daren't give him my girly real name lol but I looked and some of the winners have female profile pics so I don't think I'm alone x

    I won too, and it didn't even really cross my mind that I wouldn't be able to pass it onto my husband. So I emailed and said that was what I wanted to do :) - I'll let you know how they reply!!

    Nothing like a bit of blind optimism right!?
    Thanks to all those lovely people who contribute to this website. :beer:

    Congrats :) I noticed a female on the winners list and that the tweets were all comps like mine, I "followed" that person so it might be you :)

    I emailed and told them to pass it to the next person, I tried offering it to my ex father in law, I was told "no I hate London" so that was that lol

    I think you'll be ok passing it on, I noticed a few winners are female x
