Embarrassing Comping Moment (Part 2?)

So following on from Debsawinner's thread about embarrassing comp moments... I've managed to go a step further and win something I must have entered on autopilot (honest!) - can't post links yet soooo....

E: 31/01 Fifty Shades of Grey Adult Toys Bundle worth £100(RC) OVER 18s ONLY

Might not have been quite so embarrassing if I hadn't opened and read the email with my mum sitting beside me!! Oh well, at least that's her Mother's Day gift sorted... :T

    I won a Sqweel Go once and when it arrived I put it up in my bedroom out of the way. This is one if you don't know: http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=27037&gclid=Cj0KEQiA3bymBRC19IrD7O_NrYsBEiQAb2dpA2JKSpfo_3AP8FB9JGFz6IzaWXAQnofalVffQQP7VbwaAjKg8P8HAQ

    Anyway, my youngest daughter came across it and brought it downstairs to show her older brothers and sister thinking it was a new hair curler for her Barbie! (When I was little I had Twirly Curls Barbie and she came with a hair curing gadget that sort of resembles the Sqweel Go!) I just took it gently from her and said it was for curling mummy's hair!

    Oh phew, I don't feel so bad now! :) Although knowing my luck the box will arrive with the postman damaged and open, plainly showing the 'goodies' inside...
