Recorded Delivery Items

Hi Everyone,

Sorry about the randomness of this - just wondering if anyone has ever won any prizes that have came recorded delivery in the form of a letter? I was at work today and the postie left a red card saying there was a recorded signed for letter waiting for me at the depot.

I can't collect it till tomorrow and obviously I am hoping it's a win and not a speeding fine/court summons or similar :rotfl:

I can't imagine what else it would be for...fingers crossed it's a win, not won anything since January this year..

    It could be a cheque, gift voucher or tickets for something :D

    Fingers crossed it's something exciting!
    I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on

    A speeding ticket (i'm 99% sure) wouldn't be sent by recorded delivery, just a very official looking brown envelope with window like most government type letters. No idea bout court summons tho! Fingers crossed :D

  • I am almost certain it won't be court summons lol, generally I am a law abiding citizen and unlikely to be a speeding ticket as Livewire mentioned they don't send by recorded delivery... SO the other possibility is 'Jury Duty' ha would just be my luck!

    Oh well, I'm not going to get my hopes up, just having a comping drought just now and a win would be most handy!
