    A quick tip for when you enter postcard comps..To save time and effort.
    If you get fed up of writing your name and address loads of times, I cut off my name and address from all my junk mail that comes through the post, and then glue them on to the postcards and send them off ..

    !!!!!!, I thought this was a free competition board, The thing is becoming inundated with 1.50 a minute competition advertisements. If I want to see them I just have to turn on the TV.

    This is supposed to be a money saving site guys, lets keep it real and stop putting these 1.50 a minute so called competitions on it.

    There is a free competitions board; you've just chosen to click on the postal and texts thread (which obviously is going to incur a cost if you choose to enter any). This thread is kept separate so that you can avoid them if you don't want to incur any costs.

    Rather than insulting the people who spend lots of time posting comps for hundreds of people who DO want to enter them, just avoid this thread.

    **SCANNER BROKE!! FIL is bringing a new one round tomorrow where I will scan the page in ;) Sorry :o

    There is a coupon in the magazine, but says written and photocopied entries are acceptable :D I have scanned so that you can:

    Download and print from HERE
    Or
    just print from this webpage (without downloading) HERE


    Prizes are:

    • Shrek Operation (the board game) (x5)
    • A Wii & All Star Karate (x1) All Star Karate game (x4)
    • Set of 6 Shrek books (x15)
    • Two official Top Trump games & traditional Top Trumps, all in one set; Top rumps Tournament (x5)

    If you click on the links you can see them :)

    If you want to write to enter, then (I'm guessing here) I would pop all the details that's on the coupon on a postcard or maybe piece of paper.

    Details as follows:

    Name, age, address and the competition/s you want to enter (you can enter them all):

    Shrek Operation
    All Star Karate
    Shrek books

    and send to:

    Gimme, Gimme (03/07/10)
    The Beano
    PO Box 305
    London
    NW1 1TX

    Also state if you don't want offers from them or third parties

    Good Luck ;)

    Thank you for these sweetie, my DS won an action man from the Beano it arrived yesterday and was a complete surprise :D

    If you feel so strongly about this, feel free to find and post competitions on here which go to a freepost address, a free phone number or a text number which doesn't charge. I am sure myself and many of the others who contribute/enter competitions on this board would really appreciate it.

    In the mean time you might like to show some common courtesy and gratitude to those of us who go out of our way to purchase magazines and trawl the internet to find competitions for you to enter.

    Moneysaving or not, manners cost nothing.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
