I had kew membership arriving through my door today. I never had an email I won it! It looks like it's a single person membership for a year, and you can use a free family member voucher, but only one at a time! Unless I got it wrong :confused: So it's me +1 for free for a year....

Walked all the way home carrying this heavy large box wondering what comp I'd won. Got home and tore it open and it's a whole bunch of board games: Scrabble, Pictionary, Monopoly, wood chinese chequers board, wooden chess set, Cluedo in a wooden box and a 'great detective kit/ costume' (a deerstalker hat, pipe and magnifier).

The card that came with it says I've won the Feed Sherlock Award (from Orange the Feed which sadly is no more). So it's not even a comp I've won but an award/prize for being a previous prize winner! They've left the amazon invoices for the games in the bottom of the box (dated 16th March) and it's £120 worth. :blink:

And the Ides of March dvd that came the other week must have come from them as it's the same address even though I'd already received the Ides of March prize from them, they must be clearing out their cupboards.
Wow, that is the most amazing prize ever (I say that as I LOVE board games) you're very lucky, Elski!

It was a competition through Sky did you check your spam folder of the email you're registered with? (they recently changed something that made their emails go into spam for me. And since I have my emails forwarded I didn't notice until a few weeks later when I checked the registered email) Congrats anyway :D

A Kew membership should give you the option to bring a free guest each time (according to their website at least) - is the family voucher not to bring a whole family once?

It's a booklet of family guest passes valid for 1 person but only 1 pass can be used at a time... It looks like I have to p*y for the third person if I want at least 3 of us go together... Anyway, it's a win! ANd I may even go couple times on my own after work to relax and unwind!!!

Ah yes that fits with what it says on the website then. One membership + 1 free guest each time. Makes sense really, otherwise people would b*y a single membership together yet go with a whole group. Already surprising you're allowed to bring a guest for free!

Postie got me to sign for a letter this morning. To my surprise I won 6 tickets for the Olympic football in Hampden tomorrow afternoon. It's Egypt versus Belarus I think. There will be three generations of the family going to the game including one that never been to a game before. Looking forward to the event both teams have been leaking goals so it may be an entertaining match.
I've not been to a match for a few years now as I think I have been one of the many who have been priced out of going to see football. I think the St Pauli model will probably be adopted in countries soon as the bubble begins to burst.

I'll just need to put on the Euromillions tonight.
