Perfect win timing?

SherlockFan85

Hmmmm, the timings of these made me laugh!

* Won Batman Begins and Dark Knight on Blu-Ray, hubby complained he still hasn't seen Dark Knights Rises - a couple of days later it arrives in a jiffy bag, a separate win!

* Rented Les Mis and hubby became obsessed with singing "24601" everywhere, said he really would love the DVD, won next day

* We were discussing how we would love a minibreak, won a minibreak to Bournemouth the following week, first "holiday" win ever!!

* Won tickets to Bon Jovi, then wished I had a pair for my sister and her fiance...won another pair of Twitter the following morning!

* Mum was feeling sad last week, since then I've won a spa day and jazz night for us, mission accomplished :cool:

Hope I don't bring people down, but my perfect timing prize was shortly after my cat, Fiasco was run over and killed. We got her as a kitten and she lived with us for nearly a year. I entered and won a comp to win a charcoal drawing done from a photo. I sent him a pic of my gorgeous cat and was sooooooo pleased with the result. It was sort've like having her back again, in a sense, and it definitely helped us to cope. If you want to see it, here is a linky:

I won a signed "cleaning rag" as MainBlue would call it just in time for my Nephew's 18th Birthday. He was so happy with it and I became the best Aunt in the world!

Who signed it, very unusual prize


Thanks for the examples. Amazing how wins can be timed, as if the comping fairy is working her magic just in time!

I won an electric toothbrush just as I was planning to buy one for my daughter.

She doesn't even use it now though so mu husband uses it (argh teenagers!)

Not quite perfect timing but I almost bought a tv, went back to my nans to think it over and had a call to say I'd won a 3D tv with Pepsi & Doritos

I had just been thinking that I needed some new casual ballerinas for taking the dog out when I received a WEM saying I had won some! I had planned to buy some at the weekend so it saved spending my own cash!

I also won a toaster and a kettle set too just after deciding that my toaster was about to die on me! The toaster I won was ideal - and the colour of both the new toaster and kettle matched my kitchen decor! They both looked (and still look) fab in my kitchen!

Not a win, rec'd a ShopD £30 welcome-back vouch. Effectively a FREE toaster when I purchased a £40 steam cleaner!
