talktalk!

Turns out I won one of the Daily Talktalk Tombolas (not a consolation prize an actual daily winner), winning an "X-Factor goodybag".

(Thanks to claire21 for posting : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5093981)


and the prize? ... a really cheap canvas bag with an iron on print and a pen (not even a nice pen) :/

Don't want to sound ungrateful, but frankly I am in this case :)
I was expecting, maybe, an X-Factor Live ticket, a cup, Little Mix CD ... anything really!

    LOL - it could have been worse sleepyjones, it might have had a signed picture of Louis Walsh in there! :eek:

    Shame they couldn't even iron the transfer on straight :rotfl:

    Ah, but a win's a win, so congratulations! :D

    My worry is that the comping fairy might have awarded me a win a month, I just hope that wasn't one of them :)

    I'm now using the bag for my recycling :)

    Not going to lie, this is why I never enter "goody bag" competitions!

    I won a "goody bag" once from ideal world home show, it had a starbucks coffee machine in and a load of coffee.
    Not always that bad.

    May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you.

  • Hmm...not the best goody bag, probably not even worth them posting it! But always nice to get a surprise. Well done!
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
