    I didn't want to read and run Liz. Well done on your wins, you shouldn't have to explain yourself, it's your hobby and who has the right to deny you that, Is comping solely for those who are working 45 hour weeks? It's more constructive than playing computer games or drinking in a pub for example in my opinion.

    Sadly there are alot of jealous people who forget their manners and poise when they see a story like this, and you are very brave putting your story out there. Hold your head up high hun and do what you enjoy doing.

    I'm sorry to hear about your kitten, there are some lowlife people out there :(

    Well done on all your wins and good luck in the New York comp (have already voted for you btw)

    So sorry to hear about all the horrible comments you've received, some people are just jealous, there's no need for it.

    Also so sorry to hear about poor Rebel, I know how awful it is to lose a pet, especially when it could be some evil person who's deliberately done it. One of my cats went missing yesterday and I was devastated wondering what could have happened to her although fortunately she came back safe and sound.

    Good luck and dont let the idiots bring you down :)

    In today's Metro newspaper

    http://e-edition.metro.co.uk/2011/06/28/

    A former bank worker now earns her living by winning online competitions and completing crosswords. Liz Denial (are you an MSER?) has won a prize every day :eek: since October - including a TV, home cinema system, Xboxes and even a life-size cut-out of Ricky Gervais :rotfl:.

    The 51 year old also bagged a holiday to Kenya and £16,500 on TV show Deal or No Deal. Ms Denial from Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, had to give up her job after developing the muscular pain disorder fibromyalgia. She said: 'I can't believe how lucky I am. Maybe it is karma because I suffer a lot because of my condition.'

    Well, I think she's one lucky lady to win a prize a day :eek:

    Please comping fairy, smile upon me again :A
