Morning MSE'ers, 10 minutes ago I had a WEM, this time from Vogue saying I have won there Bafta goodie bag competition and they are going to send it via courier to my address. Although the email didn't come up with the Congratulations subject line, just with ELLWOOD Rebecca line and then says -

Dear Matthew,

I hope you are well! I am emailing from Lancôme with regards to your BAFTA prize, in collaboration with Vogue.

I can send this by courier to the address below which should arrive early next week – would this work for you?

I had to double take the email after receiving the first win yesterday from Grazia. But the first win was with my personal email address before I made a competition email address which the second wem came into!:D.

Sorry if I'm not making sense or if I'm making some people angry with envy:rotfl:I did enter a few of these BAFTA comps.

I Will keep you posted on whether it really is another win, or it might be a email with regards to the Grazia win?

If it is a win, many many thanks goes to Lakshmi7 for this post http://https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4390915

    Sounds like a win to me! You lucky thing... I think I only entered one or two. Can't get into Vogue at work so wouldn't have done that one.

    Enjoy, and well done :D

  • Well done if you have won another one! The only thing that would make me think this is the same one is the fact it doesn't actually say in the email, well done, you have won, congrats etc, it reads as if you already know about the prize if you see what i mean?
  • Well done!

    Yeah, thats what I thought, the only thing that distinguishes this one from the first one is the Grazia win and this Vogue one. Unless the magazines are related? ( plus the different email addresses). I did check in the GAME OVER section and I did enter the Vogue comp as well as the Grazia one, plus a couple of twitter entries for the same prize.
  • Hi you could have won 2 as both Vogue and Grazia had a competition to win this prize

    I enter both of these competitions to win Bafta goodie bag

    If you have well done

    Don't be embarassed - we all enter lots of comps for "that item we would love to win", you could never have predicated 2 !

    Well done :o

    Yeah, I suppose. As most people say, "I hardly ever win anything", let alone two in the space of 24hrs! All I need is ITV to phone me then I'm sorted :D:p:rotfl:
  • unbelievable, you must be on top of the world! well done :T
    Best wins: Holiday to San Francisco, Full sky package + TV, Rewind Festival tickets & Snoozebox, 5* London hotel stay, £1000 B&Q
  • Did you reply to the grazia one with the diffrent email?

    It suggests to me it's the same one as she is the agent distributing the prizes (she doesnt work for Grazia or vogue) and so she coud have been passed your details to send your prize and will no doubt be doing both magazines so easy enough for her to get the mags mixed up with who wn from where

    Well done if it is a second though

    I replied originally to the Grazia WEM with the same email addy that the WEM came to. The 'Vogue' WEM came to my newer, comp specific email addy.
    I'm just over the moon with the 'first' win, so for two would be fan'bloody'tastic!
