GRRR my inbox has gone mad this morning. Loads of 'and the winner is' emails - getting up my hopes up even if it is Sunday :rotfl:

What are they??? referencing the bliddy Oscars -

Winning blockbuster books,
winning speaker systems
winning holiday places
and others!!!

If I haven't actually won something then go do one!!! :eek::rotfl:
Thanks to those that post the comps!!
:j:beer:

    I hate that kind of email too, seems like just a way to get you to click on another link to their Facebook page. :(

    I get annoyed with the BSOS (Baby Swap or Shop) ones - click here to check if you're a winner, which means you definitely haven't won as they would have sent you a WEM way before then! :mad:

    Saying that, I then get tempted 'just to check' in case I missed something :eek: I never have :p

    A couple of Oscar "winner" emails have appeared in my Competition email folder already this morning, expecting a lot of raised hopes and then bitter disappointment today :D
