Change of address, do I still enter?

Options
Hi everyone, just a bit of advice please.
Been doing comps for over 20 years, never won much could count on 1 hand really but I'm moving soon (within the next two weeks) and unsure whether to enter my usual magazine ones Take a Break, Chat, Pick me up and Thats life just in case I actually win and prize goes to old address. I know its a big if but do I just not bother for next few weeks or would they ring you first?
Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to all who contribute to site :T
