Has anyone ever won that prize draw for providing reviews?

ScottishMouse · 18/07/2023 22:17

Just wanted to say, in case it’s helpful, that I went ahead and washed my dry clean only Leela quilt and it turned out totally fine. I used a delicates wash and hung it on the line to dry and it’s perfect.

Nope! Never me :( Do they post the winners?

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 22:19

They used to send me lots of emails to review but Ive not seen any lately either?

Me neither. I've left quite a few too.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 22:21

Just checked and I got one to review for the gingham dress.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 22:23

@Laska2Meryls won the prize draw a Christmas time! But that wasn't the reviews.

dudsville · 18/07/2023 22:24

I haven't counted but I've probably been incurred to review half my purchases.

Glad you're quilt came out fine @ScottishMouse!

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 22:24

They must publish names on their website though, surely?

MiracleToast · 18/07/2023 22:27

@dudsville still holding out hope and diligently providing reviews with sizing info and love poems to toast… haven’t won yet!

lordloveadog · 19/07/2023 04:20

Negroni; all the others seemed too filling to have while waiting for lunch.

Another one who does reviews and has lost faith in the draw.

dudsville · 19/07/2023 06:56

Oh, i didn't realise that was a cocktail, i thought it was an alcohol, just googled. Odd time of day to be googling a cocktail, but it looks tasty @lordloveadog ! I do love a cocktail.

Have any of you tried on or bought this Skirt? I'm pretty much a UK 8/10 and the size suggestions are 4 for me! I do not believe this and dint want the hassle of returns. No chance of trying on in store. And in general, are skirt sizes generous? Thank you

That still makes me smile to think about that, @neveradullmoment99 .. I couldn't believe it!!
But no nothing for reviews...

So far today i have resisted the lotus leaf gown... Even as I'm typing this i feel pretty certain I'm young to try it... Damn it. Brb...

Laska2Meryls · 19/07/2023 08:34

Right, so that's on its way now. In what other ways will i undermine my bank balance today I wonder?

@Sooverthemill - there are a couple of people who have that skirt so hopefully one will be along soon. I have the trousers in the same fabric and it's such a lovely neutral colour. Looking at the reviews it says it's on the small side, so perhaps an 8, though I bought an 8 in the trousers and ended up buying the 6 which I have kept. I would definitely order both sizes if I were you, and send one back. the sale ends tomorrow

Famous Last words. Tbf, I haven't but I've 4 parcels coming today😳
I really can't afford anything more.
I will, as it is havr to make choices over what I keep tbh. I really can't keep it all.

dudsville · 19/07/2023 09:32

I think the idea of what I can and can't afford is totally lost on me now. There's also that feeling of knowing that I will be returning to not shoppingonce the sale ends ... until the next one.

My second go at the pond dress is arriving today so I shall try it with jumpers and see.

I suppose that's true. Thinking about the sale and apart from some dresses not added to the sale ( they will undoubtedly be in a sale at one point) Most things were at some point available in the sale. I think you are right about just waiting for the sales rather than buying full price. So after this is over, I'm waiting it out. I may buy one thing ( because I have a code down to a mark on the linen tunic I got but that 15% off) at full price.

OftenOrange · 19/07/2023 09:53

I haven’t been asked to review anything for over a year , and then it was just sale items.
I buy quite a bit of full price and am a Kindred member ; have I unintentionally opted out of reviewing or something ?
I do return quite a few things ( and occasionally buy again) but otherwise am mystified as to the reason I’m never asked.
Does anyone here know why ?

I rarely get asked too. I just noticed that I was asked recently for the gingham dress and that is in the sale.
