in I won! I won! I won!
If I were to win something on here that I could not use, what is the procedure now for offering to someone else given that we were told we couldn't do it anymore! I am only asking as I have given away tickets on a couple of occasions and should I win something I couldn't use - I would want to know. Not been here for ages so there is probably a thread about it!

Sorry if in wrong place?

    I have also shared a couple of things without any problems, we are all adults after all and although I never enter any comps with prizes that I couldn't use, sometimes the runner up prizes are tickets etc that I can't use. Better sharing than them being wasted :)

    On facebook you'll find facebook compers a group set up from here.

    We have a list of unwanted prizes etc there.

    If you search on facebook for users with 'mse' as the search word you'll find loads of us.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!
