CHECK EVERYWHERE FOR WINS!
I'm quite a religious checker for wins in my email, junk facebook, other folder, social searcher, google custom search, standard google search, winners groups on facebook. But I neglected 1 - INSTAGRAM.
That's because I don't usually enter instagram comps (bar follow on Instagram rafflecopter entries.) Too annoying (on my phone anyway.) But I did enter this one posted by redseven:

4months ago. Just one. Because it was too good not to. I chose the iPad to screenshot and re-gram.
Capital FM sent me a WIM(?) (winning instagram message) 3 weeks ago to say I have won an iPad....
I JUST found it this morning. I inexplicably checked my instagram for the first time in a long time while sitting in the airport on the way to a meeting at 6am this morning. No real reason why i checked it, I just did.
So glad i did. Was amazed to find the message when it has the only Instagram comp I've entered. Then the nerves set in that it was 3 weeks ago, I was late replying, and they may have selected another winner.
A quick email, a quick reply, and the iPad is in the post!
BOOYAH! Thank you SOOOO MUCH redseven. Loving your work.
