£1000 worth of blinds

Hiya folks,
I've had a really rubbish time the last week or so, with my son getting attacked, thankfully he is ok, then someone crashing into my car in a multi story car park and doing a runner causing hundreds worth of damage (luckily a witness caught his registration number I thought, but turns out they are uninsured so I lose my NCB and have to pay £250 excess), then my son that was attacked fell down the stairs and chipped a bone in his foot. It got worse but....................
Today I've just received a letter saying I'd entered the House to Home competition
(did I it's been quite some time since I've done any comping and no idea where I entered it from) to win fantastic new Homestyle by Vantana Blinds worth around £1000 and they will be in contact within the next 28 days to arrange my prize.
To say my head is mince right now and I'm shaking my head in disbelief is an understatement.
Thank you to the original poster be it on here or otherwise - you have just made my day after a really difficult time, and what do I do with the blinds I now have up as they are all in really good condition as I've only had them up for 4 years, and it's a pet and smoke free home.
