Back from hol and mixed results!

Back from my hols, opened my post and checked emails and have mixed results! :rolleyes:

Have won £25 from Real People :j - I love the Real People but have realised I missed out on a win cos I didn't send the form back before :( . Won't forget this one!

My L'Oreal hair colour finally turned up and I got one of the Anchor Butter shopping bags which is quite sweet. :j

My biggest win ever, though, came in a letter dated Thursday 19th July (I went on hol on 14th) and was a weekend in Brighton including:
  • return train travel for two;
  • use of a Volkswagon EOS for the weekend;
  • 2 nights at Lansdowne Place, Brighton including breakfasts, Swedish back massages, dinners and cocktails;
  • VIP personal shopping experience for 2 with £500 in Jell-O boutique (:confused: );
  • ALL to be photographed for a spread in the Sunday Telegraph Stella Magazine (my 15 mnutes of fame!):eek:
But - BIG BUT - I was supposed to reply by 23rd July and the train travel specified it was for weekend of 27th - 29th July - which is quite obviously this weekend so I don't know whether I'll get any of it and to say I am gutted is a bit of an understatement! :mad:

Am a little peeved that it was all such short notice though! I phoned as soon as I opened the letter, but it's Saturday so no-one there!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

Think I might cry!
