    Don't feel bad Foo - it was an extremely lovely gesture & I'm sure people appreciate the chance of trying to win these tickets.

    Chin up sweetie & all the best

    how ridiculous - a prize was won and foofighter was been completely generous and offering it to someone else. there are so many of us on here who would LOVE to take the kids to disney but cant afford to.
    i was so touched that the prize was offered to everyone else.
    well if that isnt money saving then i dont know what is!
    hugs foo fighter xx
    :eek: :D

  • Such a shame, I replied to your original thread as it was such a lovely gesture. It's such a loss, I have two young boys and I know my family and all the others on here would have loved something like this. In the current climate there aren't many of us who can afford trips like this and it really gives you a nice warm feeling when you see original posts like the Disney one, with people trying to help people they may have never even met.
    I only logged on this morning to congratulate the winner. All disapointed now. :o:D

    I have emailed the abuseteam, I am hoping i can get the thread restored quickly as whoever was going to win it would have to post the form today to reach them by friday, if they don't get it by friday then that is it and the prize goes to someone else (which is still good as it will get used, but i thought it was a great idea to offer it up to an mser first as I know there are so many people who this would be an amazing break because of the cost)

    I hope you get this sorted out speedily and are able to offer it to an MSEer as was your original intention. I have to collect my dd from pre-school soon, but i'll be logging on with excitement later to see what's happening. x

    Thanks Foofighter, I hope the abuse team see sense & sort something out.

    Would be a real shame if your wonderful gesture was ruined now
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    It's appauling! ok rules are rules and I can see the point, someone could have signed up just to rip Foo off but it's highly unlikely!



    Bad descision IMHO



    Unfortunately people would sign up just to get a chance like that, look how many people we had with 1-10 posts saying they had won big prizes from the comps ending lists, sites like this have serial lurkers who will sign up when the time is right and this would have been one of those opportunities.

    Surely those lurkers would have entered the original comp then... I'm struggling to understand?
