    My hubby gave away a pool table when he moved in with me (17 years ago), as we wouldn't have had room for it.

    Greater love hath no man ...

    I've entered, but we still wouldn't have room.
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    Well. apart from the fact that the chances of winning it are remote, and the fact that if we did win, we might just shuffle stuff about to make room, you can always sell the prize to buy something more appropriate.

    by entering you are making the chances of winning even more remote for people who would actually LIKE the prize. if you're after cash to buy something more appropriate, then hunt out the cash prizes or indeed those comps for 'something more appropriate'.
    i get hacked off with people who enter everything for the sake of entering, i see prizes of baby/kid comps to people who don't even have young kids themselves or in close friends/family, when i'm sat here with a 4 month old daughter who would really benefit from things i can't necessarily afford for her. why ruin other peoples chances

    Awww, be fair.

    I doubt anyone has a designated space in their house, sectioned off and marked 'Pool Table Here ASAP'.

    We're all free to enter whatever we like, and what we do with our prizes is our business. If I kept everything I won, I'd probably show up on Life of Grime. If you have the time, the more comps you enter will reap more wins. If not, focus your time on things you really want to win.

    But don't judge people for their comping choices - life is short and the notion of a prize draw is that nobody is more deserving than anyone else!
    Best wins: Luxury weekend in Russia, family holiday to France, catered BBQ for 20, Selfridges shopping spree, jolly to Majorca, £1,000 See Tickets vouchers, £500 John Lewis vouchers, five-star weekend in Provence!

    Blimey, I thought comps were supposed to be FUN !!!

    Niccy, it's supposed to be a free country, lighten up.
