  • For newbies PPD, it might be better referring to catowen as comping cat :) otherwise they will get confused. Good idea, though :) Thanks reet :)

    i think having a list would get silly as you could also argue that you should have a list of websites that a certain person regularly posts the competitions from - it's just as much effort posting these comps as it is any other - takes me about half an hour to check through all the websites i regularly post from and i probably do that 3 times a day and i have to search MSE each time to check they haven't been posted so when other people post it feels like i'm wasting my time.

    i agree that if you know someone posts the itv comp then fair enough, don't post it - but the abuse some people are getting for posting a comp is ridiculous. it's not like the itv comp even lets you enter more than 5 times so you are not going to get disqualified!

    magazines comps i feel are a bit different as people are paying for them especially just to post the comps on here - i don't even do the sudoku puzzles apart from the competition one (just don't tell OH that as he pays for my subscription lol)

    anyway that's my point of view x

    oh and cathyj posts morning gmtv one too x
