    Yep several times, sometimes a search on here can narrow it down to a couple of places but other times it's a complete mystery x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Yes, I won an entry into a 'get locked in a room and get out by solving puzzles' game, with a night in a B&B. Stuff of nightmares! I would never have entered for that! Not even for the night in the B&B as there was no dinner included. No idea how I came to win it (I asked them to redraw), the only thing I could imagine is that it might have been one in a long list of prizes in Take a Break or Puzzler which I just entered without reading it!

    I had a flat screen TV turn up once - never did find out where it came from!

    Few years ago had a cookery book turn up with someone else's name and my address.

    I'd entered a number of competitions for that item and three of them had finished around the same time.

    There was nothing included to know which one it was from.

    Yes, many times. Not the big prizes, they are mostly small items.
    Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing ;)
