    Hi Liz, I read your article and thought "well done you"! Don't let these narrow-minded people get you down. I have only recently joined the forum (Feb 2011) and I really enjoy reading all the IWIWIW posts. I must admit that I haven't done too badly prize-wise myself, but am not going to stop posting my wins, because I'm proud of them and I love my hobby! You go girl!!:D
    Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T

  • Such a shame that some people got nasty about it, disappointing that it was MSE people too, jealousy is very sad indeed. Well done on your runner up prize and here's hoping that you win a lovely holiday very soon. xx
    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover

    i am sure there is a big win round the corner for you liz. you have to be in it to win it. i really wish i had your luck with comps but im happy with what ive won. the negative comments are made by jealous people who have no idea of the comping world. you post lots of comps on here and share with people. i dont come across many comps that are not posted on here but when i do i am happy to share. i bet there are a few out there who decide not to post comps so that their odds of winning are better. take no notice of any of the negative comments, in fact just dont read them is my best advice.
    Just about to give up!

    Really nice to hear you got a consolation goodie box after all the effort you put in. I know what it is like to get slagged off for winning, I won a phone on facebook and the nasty comments about me were just uncalled for. Those who dont enter many comps cannot expect to win loads but are jealous of people like you who put in the time.:)

    You did so well getting to the final, dont let a spiteful minority and underhand press agency spoil your memories of it.
