Incredibly exited for 2 reasons today. 1st; I've received my first win for 2012 and 2nd: i had a 10 week drought of not a single thing at all! Last night was the first night ever when i decided right well my lucks all out, i comp for about 7 hours per week and i'm now done with it. I was completely despondent. BUT then......
I recieved a txt today from NOVA saying " Just calling up to see how you went with your $1000 dollar prize that you won with us before christmas and just making sure that all was good. Please return our call" FAR OUT!!!! that was news to me as i had no idea.
When i called they advised that there had been a hurry before christmas and apologised that no one had contacted me to tell me i was a winner in the facebook Panadol comp. After verifying my details it was confirmed and i can collect it this week
YAY my dad then rained on my parade by some very badly timed comment which has left me totally disheartened since.
So 2 bits of advise to you all: 1st NEVER EVER give up, i nearly did and look what happened. 2ndly: I've now learnt the hard way that not everyone wil remain happy or share your joy when you win. At first some may, but after a while many even some family members or good friends feel a sense of entitlement, greed or jealousy. Now i only tell my hubby and kids, and of course the positive ACC's.
JRN - thank you sooo much for posting this one
I wouldn't have been a winner if you didn't share
