Top secret comp?? I found my way to my "nearest" shop today, and even the catalogue doesn't mention the comp!


katrina089 - 29-1-2009 @ 05:46 AM

Soo i just went to my local store (st clair) which by the website is a participating store in this competition and asked the lady at the desk " do you have the current catolgue for this week"? she paused kinda gave me a death stare then said "i am sorry but we are not a particpating store"! LOL i hadnt even mentioned a competition or anything. AND i know they ARE participating. Anyway i was wondering what products are in the catolgue (cheapest lol would be great) so i can actually enter..i secretly think she wants to minimise entrants to win for herself or a friend, she was just suspicious...grrr. Thankyou in advance.
