    I've been Money Tipped!
    Here's a question for whoever's in charge ;)

    I won one of the advent instant win comps in December, but never recieved the prize. When I chased it up, they explained that the competition page had given out more prizes than the company had had in stock so I've been sent an alternative.

    Given that the prize is completely different to that which I was expecting last year, and only turned up last week.... can I squeeze it into this year's challenge?
    Living thriftily ;) most of the time

    see you did 2 things wrong here....
    1:ask a question to whoever is in charge ( dont give anyone superiority!....definitiely dont ask if its ok....confidence is key)
    2: explain the story behind your dilemma.... just say oooh i had a prize turn up in the post randomly today.... i am having it for this challenge....

    dont worry i am here to teach you all the way

    you are welcome!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Good advice there

    Over all I wouldn't have given the back story just claimed when it turned up. Too late now the newt knows ...

    Don't think of them as rules - more like guidelines
