    I dont begrudge any one any fun, but its so easy to get sucked in, look how many people are getting obsessed with watching the timer and hitting add to basket, just to see if they are the fastest finger.

    If your buying stuff you need, ie it already has someones name on it thats fine, but ive seen a lot of people buy stuff just cos they can and thats hardly moneysaving.

    But the term ''won'' us still wrong.

    Well I admit I am getting suckered in, but thankfully those I have "won" ;) I have wanted...and a LOT I wanted I didn't get!

    Biggest "wins" for me so far are Scrabble Trickster, Pictureka & the Chocs!!!

    I find this term of phrase funny, its not a prize, you are actually having to pay for it.

    Im so glad I havent been sucked into the amazon hype, its got you all thinking your winning when really the only winners are amazon.

    To win something does not mean it is free. I win at a real bricks and mortar auction house and my bid is deemed to be the 'winning bid' as it is on ebay.

    Do not mistake what 'win' actually means.

    No guitar for me either but then again it was only £6 off hardly the bargain of the century and they sell loads of guitars in the free ads papers every week or on the board in the supermarket or argos with the discounts or TRU so yes would have been fab but not a huge loss
