    I can't believe some of what I have read :mad: I would gladly give up every single thing I have ever won to have good health back :(

    As someone working 50 hours a week, I would also like to make the point that without you lovely legions of "jobless housewives" who find so many competitions for us and self-lessly post them and the answers, we would ALL have less chance of winning anything at all.

    Thanks for all your efforts which directly benefit people like me.

    My brother asked me "how come you always seem to win and I don't?" He added "I enter all the same competitions as you do."

    So I asked him if he had entered ALL of the 1000+ competitions that ended JUST on 28/02/2010 alone...yes 1000+ ending all on the same single day.

    His reply was "no I never entered that many"....and there was the answer to his question.

    I Know this has drifted but i really cant see how anyone cant afford to work

    :mad:
    I think that's a bit of an ignorant thing to say!! I can't afford to work as I would need to earn over 30k + to live, as would my OH. Tell me how I am going to get out there and get a job of that salary?! I have experience in many fields but have been very ill for about 4 years. My OH was in University and he had to drop out in his last year to help look after me and our children things got that bad. He has been my carer for 4 years and now I am finally getting better he can't afford to go to work, he has no experience!! It's a viscous cycle I'm afraid, there are various reasons why people can't afford to work, you have serious tunnel vision if you don't see anything else!

    I think wishing 'jobless housewives' wouldn't enter SO many competitions DESERVES the feeling of not wanting them to win. Very unfair comment!

    Here here - I work full time and hardly get to post anything as people have already done it when I find a comp but am so so grateful to korky, melli, P Pixiedust, TTJay etc etc (I have no idea if you guys are houeswives/wives/women/men/work/don't work etc and it's none of my business) Thank you - I love the little prizes I get and wouldn't get them without all your efforts!!:A:beer:

    To the op i wish you good luck xxx

    To drew - i think that your comments are bang out of order - i am not a "jobless house wife" as you put it but find your comments disgusting, being a mother and a house wife is a full time job in itself, how dare you look down your nose at them, they work damn hard and don't just sit around all day entering comps.

    I work over 45 hours a week and am classed as disabled - and not meaning to brag but i win great prizes! One Word KARMA! Oh and you are a complete idiot!
