BIN it Liz, just a scam.... I get all sorts of so called wins , they seem to know folk who have entered comps, and of course if it was genuine you would get a cheque, I would nevet give any details on line..... I won £1000, along time ago and we just got a cheque..........
Have you booked any hols yet, I am still hoping for another short break before we go at the end of Sept, everything has been on hold since Jeffs op and hospital visits, but we are fortunate we can shoot off at anytime...Are you going to send me photos of your little animal visitors... then I can put them on your page in the memory book...please....
love Jean xx

Hello Jean,
yes I figured it was a scam as I often get things through from Africa and all sorts of places asking me to hold money in my account for people etc etc so just get rid of them all. This one was a bit different tho but no way would I send my details to anyone I didn't know. I am sure if they are really keen for me to have my winnings they will find another way to get it to me lol
I will try and remember to send you some pics of my hedgehogs, two came on Saturday night but none so far this evening. I got some nice pics yesterday tho and will send some soon and some other things too.
We have decided to spend Monday after he gets back from work choosing somewhere to go on holiday, if not we will have to go to the Norfolk coast cottage but I will make sure I don't cook much this time and will take the car or go off on the bus on my own a bit, to have a break from him.
Hope you manage to get something sorted out now J has had his check ups.
love
Lizxx
