Mature Times grrrrr

Hi, a bit peed off. I googled my name and found out I'd won tickets for the Creative Stitches Show in June and the show was about a week ago! Never received any notification. It has happened before when I found out I'd won a book but that was resolved with an e-mail. :mad:

  • Thank you Allisoca did not realise that you can set up a google alert - I have missed out on tickets as well with out knowing that I have won.

    I have just set up a google alert for both myself and student son (who only enters some comps as well) if you go to google and search google alerts, you can set up from there its really easy.

    I do my comping in another browser, so I set Firefox to start with 3 tabs - my mentions on Twitter, my name and "winner" set to the past week and the MSE comps forum. Works well :D
    I like to make money
