Weetabix win...anyone else won on the sports day promotion?
I had 3 different codes from the Weetabix boxes and they were all winners. Apparently I have now won 3 lots of £50 JD Sports vouchers. Now, I don't have much luck with comps and the like, so I really want to hear from anyone else who has won and is it a proper voucher...not just £50 off a minimum spend. It's very strange…
"Tell us your fave dish/place/AN Other" Randomly picked
So you enter a competition and it says something like "Hey guys we all love summer but which is your favorite Ice Cream flavour or what would be your ultimate flavour, let us know in the comment box below" So you do after to thinking of the most space out flavour you can think of "Mmm blueberries and meringue in a space…

ooh ooh postie left a missed delivery card
Came home tonight to find a lovely missed parcel card. And the postie wrote next to the parcel tick 'ball' Yay no tearing of hair, no asking on here who had a parcel delivered. And I never even trained him :j Oh and for the curious, its probably from the Argos competition.
Twitter Comp Posting...
I comp by hovering my mouse over comp titles on the list to see what the first post says.... At the moment, it's getting a bit frustrating when people are using Follow and Retweet URL links without the name of the company anywhere in the text. It means I have to click in, hover over the links and see where they are going…
Are Mags dailies taking over the world?
This may have already been debated ad infinitum and I've missed it, but come on to comp tonight and so far the first 4 pages I've looked at are all mags dailies. I seem to be spending what feels like hours scrolling through to find the "proper" competitions. Surely there has to be a better way than this? Some way to filter…
Pass the Passport comp
I can't send any passports to people - I keep seeing something like 'javascriptnil' at the bottom of the page and nothing happens. Is this happening for anyone else?
