    Anyone else received the same email yet.

    This is what they sent me:

    Nice one Gilla!
    Doesn't help the god-knows-how-many-people trying to enter though...unless we all email him with our details and ask him to enter us! (he might get the message then!)
    Shoddy workmanship people!

    ETA: I've now emailed them, with all the required details, so we'll see what happens! Tells me the webpage isn't there after I submit! That's down to their website not our PC's!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    I got a different guy sending the email. I think everyone should email them. When you get the page not submitting, there is a contact form on there, which I missed first time round.
  • It's working now. I've just entered and the submit was ok.

    Thank you to the OP for another brilliant comp
