Nervous wait - I might have won something at last...

...or then again I might not!
When I got home from work yesterday there was a 'missed delivery' card from a courier on my door mat - I haven't ordered anything online recently so I'm desperately hoping it's my first ever competition win.
I've arranged for the whatever-it-is to be redelivered to my workplace tomorrow (with grateful thanks to the department receptionist who has offered to take it in for me :T) so now all I can do is wait, and bite my nails, and hope!
Does anyone else get this excited / nervous, or is it something that wears off once you've had a few wins?

Nope, never wears off! I think it's what keeps me entering tbh, I like the excitement you get every time the post man comes or a delivery van pulls up on the street!

I hope it's something lovely for you! There is always a little bit of excitement of course but I do try to not get too carried away after experiencing a few disappointments!

It hasn't worn off for me but then I'm a relatively new comper - I've only been at it about 1.5/2 years :rotfl:

hope its a win for youWhat goes around-comes around0 -
I had a red card a few weeks ago, was sooo excited. Had to wait til the Monday to get it. While walking to the sorting office, I was thinking what if its an iPad, or something exciting,
The postman went to his safe *oooo def something exciting I thought*
Got out an white envelope *ok so not an iPad.......ok so it's a take a break win, some vouchers surely, maybe it's huge!!!
Grabbed the envelope, got outside and ripped it open,
And it was only my flaming P45 and letter from my workplace I had just left
I was fuming!
Moral of the story, don't get too hyped only to be let down (badly!!)0 -
Ooooh, I had a missed delivery card today too! Let's hope we've both won...
But mine will probably be a laptop charger that the ebay seller decided to send as signed for just to be annoying!Started 30/08/2011Biggest Wins: GHD's, 5* Trip to London, VIP Trip to Isle of MTV Festival in Malta.
Thanks so much to all who post0 -
Hope it's a lovely win for you.
Compers never lose the thrill of winning. I'm happy and grateful for every prize.
It's always a buzz when you see the delivery van pull up.
Not too great when they bring a huge parcel to your door and then say... could you take this in for next door please :eek:0 -

dont get excited it may be a letter0 -
Thanks all for your comments, and particularly clairehas - I thought of your post when my cat woke me up in the early hours of this morning and I started wondering again about my parcel, and it stopped me getting so excited I couldn't get back to sleep!
I've just been looking at the courier's website and it's definitely not a letter, as the parcel information says it weighs 15kg. :eek: I've been trying to think what heavy things I've entered to win - maybe a case of wine? :think:
I'll let you know when it gets here!Back after a very long break!0
