Thought I had Won Your Horse Comp.......

Just had a phone call asking me if I remembered entering a competition with Your Horse. Yes, I said excitedly.
"Well as a thank you for entering we'd like to offer you a 3 month subscription for just £3":cry:

I politely declined:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    How gutting! You must have been so excited

    I get really excited if I have a call on my mobile from a number I don't recognise, then get all deflated again :D

    I had someone asking for my grandaughter ~ thought, great I've won her something ~ Is miss MP there,
    no, she's at school,
    oh,
    she's shown an interest in sponsoring ......
    she's at school,
    ok I'll make a note of it.

    So, be warned, even the charities are at it, collecting phone numbers, as that's the only way they could have put her name and my phone number together.

    I had a similar one from Practical Fishkeeping last week

    Wasn't in when they first rang and spent 2 days excited as they left a message to say they were going to ring back.

    When they did eventually ring .... cheap subscription :sad:
  • God bless, what a shame lol but it is funny!
