    Win a £250 Next clothes voucher on Facebook... Random winner to be picked!

    All they asked was to repeat/copy a phrase they wrote! :rotfl:

    Found the courage to get out of an abusive marriage a week ago and left everything behind. I am being supported by a woman's agency at the minute and need clothing etc i have two sets of clothes and nothingness to my name this would help me get some dignity back

    I too noticed that and the thousands of comments with more than the required line. At least the winner only typed what was required. :D

    Oh no I can't remember! I saved the picture with the name shaded out but then realised I can't post photos on the forum (I don't think!)

    To cheer everyone up though, I have found the ultimate sob story competition. This really is the 8th wonder of the world. I think I win the thread!

    Because so few of them can dance.

    You have to simply comment "#shareit"
    At a quick glance there is a Mum with terminal cancer, (Who many are saying they hope wins :( ) and another who spent their wedding ring money on the funeral of their baby...:huh:

    !!!!!!? Seriously !!!!!! are these people thinking of? :eek:

    Cancer is truly horrible - Go look at my friend Heidi's blog, ("Storm in a Tit Cup") for further evidence of its cruelty... :cry:
    Dying babies - every parents' worst nightmare... :cry:

    It's a very nice prize, but I stand by my initial reaction !!!!!!?
    Worse things will have happened in the world today...

    I think perhaps those that write sob stories or paragraphs of text and emojis when asked to simply write an answer to a question or copy and paste a phrase are mostly disqualifying themselves.

    After reading this thread I've consciously noted winners and their responses and more often than not it's those that have abided by the rules that win.

    If these people are disqualifying themselves - and as frustrating as their tales are to read - I wholeheartedly encourage them to carry on as it possibly means more wins for us rule abiding, non-exploitative folk!

    "my late husband died before we could make our new home just as we wanted ......i am trying to finish decorating our adapted flat (i am disabled) in the way we planned before he was so tragically taken from me ..........this would be amazing to win, one of our favourites stores xx"

    Keep seeing this one pop up. Whilst dreadful if its true, I just can't see why they'd want to use it to win a small prize or two.

    Loving the hashtags :) Maybe #ASSOSM (another sob story on social media). They're on twitter and FB (and prob others that I don't use - Instagram?) so it'd be a case of one size fits all :D Does mean losing the #A S S one, but then I guess there must be a few scorned exes using that one, or against of the TOWIE mob just for being, well, asses!

    Plus the 'sob story teller' won't get miffed thinking they're being called an a s s :D

    Jx
    2023 wins: *must start comping again!*

    One on that thread did make me chuckle... a whole detailed paragraph of how their greatest wish for Christmas is a cure for cancer.

    They've then immediately replied to their own entry adding "...or if not, a copy of Call of Duty."

    I did wonder if it was one of you lot being sarcastic, but think it is an actual genuine entry! :rotfl:
