wow........ I had messed up my notary and had to send a new one out for my 2000 check I won. i sent the notary out on the 8th of this mth and it still hasnt gotten to my sponsor yet. goodness. they recieved the first one with the wrong signature i sent out the first time before i knew what a notary was but its now the 19th is it possible that it could actually take this long to be delivered. i sent it first class but that still takes awhile to send out. i sent it in a yellow envelope this time too. the post office never lost my mail before. uuuuuuuugh my sponsor said dont worry they wont take the prize away just to wait another wk n then if it dosent come send another one. lol i just have plans for the money. mostly for my kids thats why i want it to hurry and come. it takes 3-6 wk for check to arrive so of course i wanna do soe xmas shoppin with the money and go back home for the holidays. i need some new clothes myself after losing so much baby weight too. im so happyt my sponsor is sooo nice tho.
 
For future reference, when sending back an affidavit to the sponsor, you should at least send it by certified mail, signature requested. Any affidavits for bigger prizes, we always send back overnight by Fedex.
 
ww shows im new to winning things lol
how much does it cost to send one out certified mail or to fedex it out b/c i would have def did that if i would have thought about it first

Certified mail, which we use for smaller prize affidavits, probably costs around $3.00+/$4.00+. Overnighting a big prize affidavit with Fedex is around $14.00+. With four children, two of which are very young, my husband takes care of these tasks. So, I haven't seen the inside of a post office in a while!LOL
 
lol i have a 5 mth and 19 mth old. my hubby always drops the mail off for me but to sepnd 14 dollars on gettin a mail sent out overnight is worth it to get it there in a certain amount of time and for you to recieve your prize. We have been doing ok its just every lil bit of money counts. As you know whith kids they grow so fast and they always need new things like new clothes and shoes and new toys to keep there minds wandering. hahahaha so im planning to use the money for that and spend a little on myself. i know some sponsors who will forfeit your prize if it takes so long., LESSON LEARNED. i will never send a notary out unless its overnight i dont care if its 14 bucks it will save me time and less stress about it.
 
Plus, with Fedex, you can track the envelope so you know where it is at all times and when it gets to its destination.

With two little ones, you should check out the blogs which are mostly run by mothers. I have a 16-, 15-, 5-, and 2-year-old. I have won so much for them including three pairs of shoes for my two younger ones. They were all higher-end, better-quality shoes; and I haven't had to buy them any in quite awhile. They offer many prizes for babies and toddlers.
 
when I won our the Fed Ex'd my forms with a return Fed Ex. So I did not have to pay a thing or worry about what to do. Very nice of them to do that. Any time I get an affidavit I will return it Fed ex.
 
yes it is very nice of them to fedex it for you. I dont even think my sponsor cared if i sent it overnight or what,lol ive been more worried about it then them. i know im gonna get my prize but the longer it takes for them to get the papers the longer it could be before i get it. 3-6 wks and its coming up on the holidays and i havnt been back hom in 8 mths. we live in kentucky my family is in virginia and my hubbys family is in new york. we are moving back to either va or new york to be closer to home after this summer but we are savin money here for now. My family and my hubbys family hasnt seen my son yet whos 5 mths. yeah we are waiting on the extra money to drive back to va/newyork. it will help out. oyeah i do sign up for some blogs. ive cut back on sweeping b.c i was spending way to much time doing it and it was tiring me out b/c i have 2 kids who are 14 mth apart so instead of 3-4 hr a day i do 1-1.5 hrs and thats it. With working out to lose all the baby weight, to taking care of the kids and doing everything else I only enter the contest i really wanna win. I have pretty good luck tho. ive won some good stuff.

i dont use roboform. I know sometimes u can get disualified for not entering some sweeps manually

No, you don't get disqualified for using Roboform. It's just a form-filler that is faster and more efficient than auto-fills--not automated or robotic. I've been using it ever since it came out in 1999. They have a free version, but it's very limited; and I think you can only save ten sweepstakes to it. I use the paid version (discounted), Roboform Pro. I can save as many as I want, and it's a one-time fee. I can enter so many, so fast that it enables me to win a lot of prizes.
 
oh ok to be honest with you I love entering and winning sweepstakes but lately I havnt had the energy to do as many as i usally would. i still do about 1.5 hrs but i have so much else in life going on i def will start to use roboform it can help save alot of time. FINALLY SHE JUST MESAGED ME SHE GOT THE FORM SO ITS BEING PROCESSED NOW. yey im sooo happy now.
 
If it makes you feel any better my two older boys are 12 months and 12 days apart. It was very hard and then I had another baby when they were 3 and 2. So I had three kids 3 and under. It was very overwhelming at times but now it is great. They are 10,9, and 7. They are very close.
 
yeah i kno once they r both walkin and talkin it will b so much easier. also we will be able to do more with them. and when they are of age 15-16 and start dating then i can finally go out with the hubby alone to the movies or somewhere without worryin bout a babysitter. they will b busy bein teenagers then.
