in I won! I won! I won!
My Mum has just received an email telling her she's won £500, which came as a big surprise to her :j

The comp was Fiction Feast Issue 3, posted by CraSiEla here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5974083/e-14-03-win-500-take-a-break-fiction-feast-issue-3&highlight=fiction+feast

I've had a few good wins too recently, but this is the biggest win so far since starting comping almost 2 years ago.

Thanks so much to CraSiEla (on behalf of my Mum, who I don't think has an account), and all others that post answers for us! :A

    Well done to your Mum :D

    Interesting that they emailed her.......in the past I've only ever seen winners from Bauer magazines (Take A Break, Bella, That's Life, TV Choice) mention receiving the news of their win via letter rather than email, so I didn't realise that they email some people or maybe it's just a very recent change/addition?

    Thanks guys!

    On the downside, I suppose the 6 month Bauer ban now begins for us both considering I live at home, which of course now seems like a really unfair rule :p

    I did win £100 with That's Life last month, and that came by letter. So yes, could be a new thing!
