    Same here, i dont class it as a win because ive not entered a comp to win them, i think they are a 'by product' of something else ive entered!!

    I'm giving them to OH to put on the noticeboard at work in case anyone was going paintballing anyway! :D

    That's a good idea - I'll do the same.
    At least someone might benefit then :)

    I won't be counting this in my "£2008 in 2008" total as I won't be using the "prize" and won't get any benefit from it...

    Is there a specific time the paintballing vouchers have to be used by...?
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    You have to book by a certain date (end of July I think - the info is at home) However you can book for a later date as long as you book (and pay your £10 each deposit) before the July closing date.

    for me a win is something you don't have to pay for and with this paintballing you do.

    I didn't win one this month, but I didn't count mine from last month. If DH uses it, I might count it, but until then, it's just a way to get money out of me.


    Total to date - £309.15
    March wins - Leaves of Grass DVD
