Thanks ZombieMed. I won the Garden makeover competition (the 50400 Competition that people weren't getting a text response on).

Congratulations was that the one with €1000 tesco voucher too?

Fair play! Hope you have a good use for it. Did you get a reply to the entry at the time?

Brilliant enjoy. I was wondering when I entered, is the €5000 for the consultation as in they will give you a design and u do it urself or is that you will getting €5000 worth of stuff in the garden

I was a bit distracted when they called with the details. I'm waiting on the email/ letter to know exact details. However she said design consultancy and then there's money for whatever is needed, e.g. plants, furniture, decking etc. You can use the money for a gardener or do the work yourself. This is the detail in the T&C's from the competition "The winner will receive a 1 on 1 consultation (potentially virtual, subject to restrictions and availability) worth €2k, a design plan for a garden makeover worth €5k and €1K Tesco Gift Gard"

Oh wow that will be great. I was thinking would it just be the consultation and then they would give u a design and then look for you to pay the products. But getting whatever you need to do it and the consultation as well means you will end up with something great. Do you have a big garden

Yes, a big front and back garden. We moved into the house 2 years ago and the garden was well established. We had only recently thought about adding a seating / entertainment area, so the prize has come at a great time.

Just adding my own cautionary tale about the importance of checking your Spam box, and not assuming that competition closing dates are always correct! :pac:

I entered this competition in The Gloss back in November. Obviously never expected to win – it said that the winner would be notified by email by November 26 and I'd nothing in my emails at that stage.

...Fast forward to early January and I found an email from them dated just before Christmas to say that I'd won! Was absolutely raging that I'd missed it, and emailed them back to see if it was still mine or if they'd given it to someone else (which would have been absolutely fair enough, I figured they'd probably only give prizewinners a week or two to reply).

They assured me it was still mine, but it took them until March before they confirmed that they had been in contact with the prize fulfillment team. It wasn't until last week that someone from Dylan Bradshaw called to say it was being sent over, and it took until Tuesday this week to finally arrive, four months after they sent the congratulations email!!

I'm obviously delighted to have won it, but all the stress of not knowing if I'd ever get it could have been avoided if I'd checked my Spam box more frequently!

Re Walkers Max Text Comp for a pair of headphones

I got a call last week to say i was one of the winners, and instead of headphones , sending a €200 Harvey Norman giftcard instead, so was happy with that!

A €200 giftcard is a thing of beauty!

Yes, I got a response to the Monster text one. One entry only allowed.

Anyone else having problems with 'scan the fox' promotion? No joy with scanning this pesky fox!

Just wondering if anyone could give me a digout with the Afloat crossword please!
I am having no luck with one of the clues, keep coming back to it but all I'm drawing is a big blank.

It's 18 Down - Clue is: 'The Artistic Medium of Rage' article. (7)

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help

How do your answers match with mine - stuck on 13 across and down

That's it thank you so much! Was bugging me a lot.

So I guessed, (and it really is a guess), that 13 across/15across was Below The Helm? It fits at least.
Meaning not in authority perhaps, as per the clue.
Your mileage may vary

And 13 Down I thought was Belay, ropy security and all that?

Again, I'm guessing for the majority of these each time they come around, but it's a nice prize so hey ho!
