    I was reading a thread earlier by SuperLucky Di on Fb/twitter Cheating and can't find it now? Did anyone have it bookmarked please, xxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Does this help?

    I'll pm Glad for a move to discussion :-)
  • Yes but what happened to the whole thread of discussion on this forum? Was it just arbitarily removed by the Board Guides?

    If so I would be curious to know why.

    If it was one or two offensive remarks then I could understand but to remove a whole thread with many different peoples' view points seems a bit 1984 'ish.

    This may seem a silly question but do people think your e-mail address has any bearing on whether you win competitions or not?

    Not explaining myself well but hope someone understands what I mean!

    Personally I think it does not enter in to it.

    If you're a winner you'll get the prize.Most are just random draws & lots are verified by outside bodies.

    My comping email is non gender specific,is hotmail,has letters & numbers.I've won a few nice prizes via it as well :-)

    Not from Superlucky Di, but I did read this:-

    http://www.sparkandfuse.com/2012/01/19/how-to-win-on-twitter/#comment-1190

    about cheating with twitter comps. Thought that quite useful, so bookmarked that one.

    Me and my wife were discussing this question the other day and with us both being on benefits (please do not judge us) as I am sure many other people are would it really be worth winning a cash prize from ITV? Not saying I wouldn't like to win it and I do enter it them regulary but if you won do you have to claim it to the benefit people? I know you can have upto £6000 in savings but the rest would be classed as an income wouldn't it? Wondering if anybody who's been on benefits have won a large prize and come across this situation?

    Yes you do have to declare it. Depending on what the benefist are of course. Some would be exempt like DLA

    If you didnt, and you were claiming means tested benefits, you would be making a fraudelent claim.

    Simple as that.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
