It's a TV

You don't have a friend wanting this for free 'cause you won it by any chance?

Tip: Don't tell your friends and family what you have won. I don't - I just put away any prizes I win until Christmas/birthdays etc. If you do that then no friends or family can start begging or making you feel guilty by saying 'Oh I really need a tv but unfortunately I cannot affort a new one..... (hint hint!)'

Bit hard if you live with them though! The lot I live with seem to have developed a sixth sense for when I've won something. Good job I love them

Parcels usually arrive when my kids are at school so I can hide them! If my kids are around though, I am usually good at distracting them or I say that they are for our neighbour When I receive a wem when the kids are out, I am free to squeal with excitement.....but if the kids are around, I have to hold it in and go and sing in the kitchen and bake a cake to celebrate....

With selling on Facebook do you just advertise to your "friends" Is that how it works?

The best way is to join some local buy and sell groups on Facebook. I would imagine there are groups that cover most areas. I have been quite successful in selling goods (not comp wins) this way.
