    Maybe I'm an adrenaline junkie, but I love that little frisson of expectation with an email like that... :o

    I agree with Jessica here... yeah I got the email and wow that little rush of hope was great - but hey it was the little ray of hope amongst 478 carp emails that I had to go through when I got home from work..maybe it's just me but I'm increasingly experiencing that anyone sharing anything positive is good!!!!:D
    :smileyhea Thank you to all that post comps - may the Comping Fairy return your time and generosity doubled!:smileyhea

    It amazes me how many companies send emails saying 'we're sorry, have 10% off' I'm sure that they do it deliberately half of the time.
