Almost a win!

I received a lovely email from Sheerluxe a few minutes ago congratulating me on winning VIP tickets to Brides the show and details on picking a gorgeous Blue Nile necklace (worth £1440!). Unfortunately I am unwell so won't be able to make it this weekend so I've had to turn it down - so if you entered, keep an eye on your email...hopefully it will be one of you!

Hopefully another win is around the corner!

    Maybe you can have the necklace still and they will reallocate the tix?
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!
  • Thank you firefly! Best of luck to you :)
  • I did ask hannonle but unfortunately not - a bit of a shame but hopefully someone else enjoys the experience and necklace instead

    Nice to get a win, even when you can't claim it. Next one should be along shortly.

    boo!

    I wonder what would have happened if you claimed the tix but just couldn't attend on the day? Maybe you should have accepted and then just happened to have got sick/had sick kids/transport problems/etc on the day in question.

    Depends what the T&Cs were, if it was to be collected at the show or sent on after (with the timescale it was unlikely to have been sent before the show), the prize might simply have been forfeited if the winner failed to attend instead of being offered to someone else.
