Won £1,000! (not from here - XFM radio comp)

Can't see that anyone's put this one up, but was listening to XFM this morning and they gave the length of a song to text an answer in which I did. They only went and called!
OMG I talked absolute twaddle and made no sense as my OH was whooping and going crazy in the background - plus I was SO RIDICULOUSLY NERVOUS, especially as it's the station I listen to all the time!
Anyway, won a grand (whoop whoop) and a go on the 100ft waterslide at Kings Cross (which I'll pass on to someone else as that fills me with even more horror!).
Hope nobody heard me LOL!

Nope lol - I was a quivering jibbering wreck and got all my words muddled up! They even said 'nope, sorry, didn't get a word of that, but never mind...'. Oh the shame
Had been on radio before with first comp I ever won. Didn't believe 'comping' really existed - entered some random ones I found on here (not knowing what I was doing), didn't think more of it, and about a week later got a call saying I'd won about a grand's worth of TV, DVD, Blu-ray, speakers, etc... Wasn't nervous then as didn't believe I was on the radio and thought it was a complete scam (until all the stuff started arriving!).
This time was a whole different ballgame - especially as it's the station I'm always listening to!
So cringe... but forgotten after winning £1k!
Thanks, all.
