    BLAH BLAH BLAH. She seems pretty greedy to me over £200.000 worth of prizes. How the hell do you manage that and over 40 holidays?? greed that`s what. I C&P and move on to the next comp and I try and post comps. I dont enter every comp but I enter a lot, Plus I'm at home full time for personal reasons. Does that make me bad Di?? I really dont care what anyone thinks of me TBH.
    I enjpy comping and use other forums to. The only reason I came across her blog was because of this post and I for one wont waste my time reading it.
    Thanks to everyone who posts

    i think its all so silly, i can see both sides and understand why from a compers point of view it would be upsetting, and from a promoters point of view as well.

    Iv just started comping again after having children and like others find it frustrtaing when i find a competition and its alreday been posted :(

    This will always go on in the comping world.

    Its amazing hobby , i have met some amazing people but unfortunately this is the bit of the hobby that lurks its ugly head sometimes.

    Time to put this to bed i think

    Good Luck All

    I'm not at all surprised, i have seen this for myself on twitter, one of the reasons i don't use it anymore, got sick of all the nastiness on there.
    LOL Over £200.000 worth of prizes and over 40 holidays?? And she's still entering???
    Now that's greedy!!!
    She must enter them 24/7 too, to be able to win that much.
    And what's wrong with some people being at home????
    They may work from home, be carers, they may be parents of young children or have disabilities etc, and that's why they are at home.
    What's that got to do with anyone, anyway.
    I work shifts and i still enter everyday, unfortunately im not so lucky, i have only won 4 small items in 2 years, but i also try to post comps when i can...
    I think MSE and the members are brilliant, not only for comps, but for everything else.

    Another example of someone with a gaping hole to fill in her life who believes her little blog is more than it is. I'm not even angry. Hyprocritical, garbled, arrogant and written by somebody who herself admits to winning an immense amount of prizes that I'm sure she didn't need. All an attempt to gain some form of validity for herself, that much is clear. I would say ignore it, its all an attempt to gain attention.

    They are often regular visitors - though not contributors - to the https://www.moneysavingexpert.com competition forum

    tbh i agree with her, there are a lot of people who only join here to post theyve won, they never post comps, dont help with answers or bumping dailies etc and a lot of the time dont thank the OP for posting a comp

    People don't have to post comps, help out with answers or bump dailies to be part of the MSE comping community!

    :TBig thanks to all competition posters:T

    The way i read it was she was more aiming at the people who are not registered on this forum and who do not contribute at all to the comps posts.

    I think her wording could have been much better but i dont see too much of a problem with what she has written.
    would love to win an ipad!
