Hi Everyone

Was just wondering, do you always get emails to say you've won a comp or do you sometimes just get parcels containing the prizes that turn up??:confused: Just curious really only ever had a WEM then a prize arrive myself.

    Ive always wondered why they bother sending a letter, its only happened once, but a bit of a waste of postage to send something to say they would send something soon!!!

    I had a fish tank turn up, no letter inside, just a fish tank! It was about 6 weeks ago, although I managed to trace the comp via this site, I never did have any communication from anyone about it!

    It's also a good idea to google your name/username every now and again. That's how I discovered one of my wins.
