How is it that everyone around me and I mean everyone seems to win prizes or are the chosen customer to get that extra discount or receive a complimentary gift?? Since being on maternity leave I must have entered over a hundred competitions and giveaways and the grand total of the prizes I've won so far is...... zero, nothing, nowt, diddly squat. Now I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for the fact that those around me seem to have lots of luck. A friend of mine who is also on maternity leave and entering the same competitions has won thousands of pounds worth of prizes, granted some are a little naff but others are amazing. She's won a holiday, a weekend away, designer shoes, a make over, jewellery, countless toys and list goes on and on.
I'm clearly doing something wrong, but what? I was at our local NCT fate the other day and as you do bought a strip or two of raffle tickets as did a number of the other girls I was with and no word of a lie, 4 out of the 5 of us won prizes and you've guessed it I was the one whose ticket wasn't drawn. Again this could be coincidence but there's more, I'd signed up for the usual baby weaning guides as did a couple of the other mums, we all received the complementary spoons and vouchers, etc but the others also received cool bags and highchair toys along with a letter stating that they were the lucky few to be chosen at random for more gifts. Hey, what about me? Have I been unknowingly blacklisted from winning anything????
Do people have more luck than others? I'm starting to think so. What do you think? Have you won anything lately?
