spam or real?

Hi all, have just had an email from a hobbycraft address saying they tried to deliver the vouchers from a womans weekly craft magazine but got addressee unknown, they have supplied the correct name and email address for me, but totally the wrong address, wrong city even!

Now I haven't had an email from womans weekly to say I have won, could this be real?

    Yes.

    I've won Hobbycraft vouchers from Woman's Weekly a couple of times this year, and only found out when the postman knocked on the door for me to sign for them a couple of months later.

    I've never had e-mails from them telling me I've won them. Just Hobbycraft send out the vouchers.
  • Thanks Zanzib, I could kiss you for that answer :D

    I was in Hobbycraft at the weekend spending some of my vouchers - bought a sewing machine :D

    Talking to the staff member who served me it seems that most of their vouchers go out via promotions nowadays.

    Enjoy spending them, mumto2boys. :)
  • Oh I will zanzib, I will leave the kids at home with hubby and have a nice relaxing hour or three in there lol.

    I love my sewing machine, just have too many things I want to do with it and not enough time!
