    That's really disappointing. I always find winning goodie bags a bit hit and miss, the majority of the stuff I know I will never use but I still love winning them. Hope you get a good win soon to make up for it x
    Total 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
    2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.

    I won a curry kit which was full of mouldy naan bread. I wrote to let them know but never had a response.

    I won a £100 hamper from Costcutter. It took months to arrive and I was told it had got damaged and returned to their office. When it did finally arrived it was a cardboard box with some dodgy jam/marmalade and a pair of gloves worth less than £25!

    Make me smile cos of "COST Cutter" by cut down £100 to under £25, they seem doing that very well. :rotfl:

    I am guessing that was the Loyd Grossman curry kit? I won the same (in a black box with mental bowl?) Mine was great i would not normally buy his stuff but after the kit i will when on offer. Made a lovely meal with it.

    I have won some movie goody bags 3 up to now i am waiting on one. I always give the t-shirts to friends, USB always come in handy and posters i give away. I have had wrong prizes sent to me but sent them a email and always got the correct one sent and also allowed to keep other one, I won blue ray and dvd box sets of homeland 1-3 but they sent blueray and dvd of homeland season 3 when i emailed them they sent box set and blueray 1-3 and said i could keep others.
