I won..

a Saw III competition on Zone Horror back in May last year, I think it was. Four months on, I still hadn't received my prize, so I emailed them asking about it and never heard back.
I emailed them again last month, pointing out I'd previously emailed them and had gotten no reply, I still hadn't received my prize & that I'd moved house so if they had sent it out to me I wouldn't get it.
I got a reply a few days later saying they were very sorry and that they'd send me a goody bag out from the Saw IV they were running at the time.
I accepted their apology, gave them my new address and waited for my good bag to turn up.
It turned up today- Saw III and The Hamiltons on DVD, and a Saw IV t-shirt.
I am slightly disappointed I had to wait almost nine months for that- especially when my original win was three DVDs, a t-shirt, a necklace and a signed picture.
I'm also wondering what happened to the goody bag I was supposed to receive originally?

But none the less, a win's a win, and I guess I shouldn't complain. :P
