    2012!
    T Ducasse of Portsmouth

    So did anyone on here win?

    It all works out good in the end.
    If it's not good, it's not the end!

    How can the winning number be 2012 if she was only selling 2000 tickets?

    She had to start at 1000 to all the numbers had 4 digits. Nice try though!

    Really????

    Bloominggorgeous is a flowers site isn't it? And if I'm not mistaken, the person who runs it is a member of YAYW?

    Will read the link now, thanks! x


    EDIT ~ Just read it. If that's true, it's shocking!

    ive just read it all on YAYW, its terrible how people do things like that
    and yeh she ended up being a member of YAYW and gave a big sob story that she had left her husband etc, got all the brides feeling sorry for her and buying the 'tickets'

    morale of the story- if you think its true good to be true- it usually is lol

    Aw that's so mean :(

    Although if I'd have thought of raffling off my (old) engagement ring I would have. Ended up selling it at one of those "we buy old jewellery" places for a pittance but just wanted rid.

    I have no engagement ring this time with New Man as we're not officially "engaged", we're just planning to elope :D

    I'm glad this was an old thread, I'd have been so torn on what to do!
    This thread made me think of the joke about a man that buys a donkey for a lot of money and it dies, the guy he bought it off wont have it back so he's down a lot of money and has a dead donkey, so he starts a raffle for a donkey and the man he bought the donkey off doesn't think he'll make anything sure enough he sells loads of raffle tickets and makes all his money back. The person that won the donkey complained the donkey was dead and got his ticket money back, no one else knew/complained.

    lol lexxi. tis a good story and i have a feeling i may have herd it before. perhaps it was the one that prompted the idea for this.

    I have to say, i have actually boycotted yayw until they sort out the spammers. disgusted with the stuff posted in baby forum and feel quite sad that its allowed to happen at all. :( everything about that site seems to be bad right now. :( lost a load of posts last week i think and it just seems to be going from nad to worse. feel so bad cos it was my wedding lifeline for a while. x
