    I assume Jaibaby is copying direct from magazine and therefore correct :) but the website is wrong? Best not to enter until it's fixed?

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    they always do it differently from the mag
    What goes around-comes around
  • they always do it differently from the mag

    Sorry, what do you mean?

    I was referring to puzzles 3, 4 and 5 being in a different order in the magazine to on the website. :)

    Magazine:
    Puzzle 3- Strike it
    Puzzle 4- Number fit
    Puzzle 5- Tesco gift cards

    Website:
    Puzzle 3- Tesco gift cards
    Puzzle 4- Strike it
    Puzzle 5- Number fit

    All the page numbers are different too, but that doesn't really matter.

    I wasn't sure though, with the puzzles being in a different order, whether it was best to enter the answers in the same order as the magazine (and just ignore that they don't correspond to the correct puzzle name/prize) or to move the answers around to match the correct name/prize (but then they would be by the wrong puzzle numbers) - thought it best to just not enter until they've corrected it?

    Are you saying they are often wrong and we should just enter them in the same order and not worry about the puzzle names/prizes being different?

    usually once people have emailed them/phoned them to
    let them know they will rejig the form,
    won't be till after the bank holiday though now,
    but as it doesn't close till 9th there's plenty of time
    to b/mark & wait till they do rejig it.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png
