Okay, so I gotta brag a little....:blushing: I get home tonight and there's a PC box waiting for me. I'm thinkin' .... "I don't remember ordering anything".....then, when I opened it, I remember winning...again!

Last week, I called the French hotline, which my Director pointed out to me I should do (I should anyway, seeming I'm French... :rolleyes: ...but didn't really realize there was one! :blushing:) .....anyway, to get on with the story.....they gave my name at the end of the call and said that I had to call HO by a certain date to claim a prize! I thought...."Cool...this is really my year for winning!" I was pretty excited, thinking I had won another mug or something. So, I call HO and she said they would get it in the mail to me, but didn't tell me what it was.

So, here's what I got: 25 catalogs, recipe cards, SS S/S2008, invitations, prize draw slips, write-in receipts, recruiting brochures, i-slice, easy adj measuring spoon, finger guard, twix-it clips, mini whisk, citrus peeler, and my safe cutter!

I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!! PC Rocks!!! :D Just had to share! :) Now, let's hope I can bring my luck to Conference!!! :D

Gee Ann, you say that like it's a bad thing! haha :p
 
It's not! Although where I live, I joke that the Canadians are SOUTH of the border, since that's the direction the border crossing runs in Detroit. :)

Congradulation! Feels great don't it. I never thought that there was a french hotline! Would you mind sharing the #. I really never tried the hotline but then again I might've did once.

The number for the French hotline is 514-315-2444. I have been bad at not calling the hotline lately. I use to do it religiously before bedtime on Monday. I just have to get in the habit again! :rolleyes:
 
Just wondering... PEI Chef do you get a lot of french bookings? I live in a french community and they all do English show (well that catalogues are anyway).

Never had one French show! I would be totally open to it though. Although I would have to study the catalog to learn all the tool names in French! LOL
