Ive just won £10,000....!!!!

Just wanted to share my good news with you all....
I must have entered an online competition before Xmas ( i cant even remember doing it) as I got a recorded delivery letter yesterday, from Olay skincare, with a congrats letter ..... and a cheque for £10,000.
Seeing as I have credit card debts adding up to £8,500 I now am in the privileged position of any day now being able to pay them ALL OFF and cut the dreaded things up... lets see what fantastic interest rate they NOW offer me having refused my recent pleas for a review of interest rate hmmmm.
Funny thing happened when i took the cheque into the bank, after doing the counter deposit, I was speedily ushered into a back room, with a very important looking man and asked questions about where the money came from.... They dont seem to be so speedy when I want an answer about my bank charges. I was quite close to saying that I would take the cheque somewhere else if it was a problem for them....
To all you debt free wannabees...keep entering those competitions. I havent won anything for a year..but probably only enter 20-40 a month.
fingers crossed all!
