    oh dear me too. so glad i came here before i broadcast it everywhere else. such a shame some sun would be lovely right now

    i understand mistakes happen but as someone else said they have known for a couple of hours now that it is wrong so should have emailed back to apologise

    aaah well we shall all have to stick to sunny (??!!!) uk <sigh>

    have they at least sent an email now they know there is a problem informing of their mistake?

    Think what i find funnier is all the 'first time posters' just joined to share their news...
    Lets hope they all continue to contribute to the site as you all had to start somewhere, so let this be your first of many posts in the forums!!
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:
  • I completely agree with what's being said. Many people who enter won't be 'compers' and won't have checked MSE..and will still be awaiting their email and trip.

    Even more gutting if you spend days/weeks thinking you've won something so fabulous.

    I'm not demanding compensation, and I do feel for the poor person who got it wrong...they are a victim too. I'm certainly guilty of making mistakes at work.

    I would like an apology and an explanation though...I am so disappointed.
  • Sadly me to :(
  • Oh no I got it too!
    Aim to win in 2013 - a holiday somewhere nice, New York break, treats for family & friends & some cash would be lovely!!!
  • It is actually disgraceful that being as they know they have made a mistake they have not sent an email to all those affected telling them so! THis should be a priority!

    And as per the person that made a mistake it is sad for them - I'm sure they will be in trouble however that is between the employee and the employer
  • I got the email too. Gutted

    What a nice attitude you have there. We all have off days. This woman/man is gonna have their job on the line because of a mistake so you can all get a tub of gel. I hope it's worth it.

    I am entitled to my opinion thanks as are you.

    I don't actually want a tub of gel just someone to grow a pair and say they have made a balls up.

    as to the person who made the mistake i mean c'mon!

    do i send to 1 person or everyone?

    That is not a tiny error!
    Fingers Crossed for the big one in 2015 :)
