And the worst thing about it - you can't even throw it away because it'll just keep coming back!

I snorted my tea at this... not good!:eek::rotfl:

My worst prize was a 'magic talking mirror' from Hamleys. It was a Snow White/Mirror Mirror promotional thing and I was expecting a pink plastic mirror like the disney princess stuff - the kind of thing I hate but my 3 year old loves. When it arrived it was a huge mirror with an ugly, heavy, very ornate plaster frame messily spray painted gold. It weighed a ton and had a cheap electronic box sellotaped to the back with all the wires showing. The voice was a very crackly creepy recording - I think it said 'you are the fairest in the land' but it wasn't clear enough to be sure. It was horrible and wasn't at all suitable for a child - it was clearly made to be used in the shop display rather than to be sold. To make things worse several large chunks of the frame had snapped off in the package. I wrote to Hamleys to complain (hoping they might send a voucher ) but they just said that they hoped I could stick the bits back on as it was a 'limited edition' piece so they couldn't replace it :eek:. It went straight to the tip!

This was going back a few years, in a Village Hall raffle.The last prize which I was lucky enough to win was one duck egg!

I am always really grateful when I win, but when I first started comping & entered everything and everything, I won a DVD of pelvic floor exercises!!
Will probably wish I'd kept it one day :rotfl:

lol some of these have made me laugh! the squishy yoghurt throught the letter box, and the broken necklace (special bottom beads!)made me pee myself lol....maybe I should have had the tena lady that was sent off/dumped at charity shop lol

I don't know whether it is bad but the Paul's Boutique wellies, which when they came were covered in mud and didn't fit. I think someone thought it would be a good idea to send the photoshoot wellies... a quick stern but fair email later, new wellies and a t-shirt! (but, not without trouble from Yodel...) can't complain at the rest though especially this month! x [i will add it wasn't from PB but BANK fashion... subsequently they have lost my business]

I'd be mortified if the postie pushed those special beads through the door, as I live in flats with a shared postbox! :P

.....now I only enter competitions for prizes I want or can give to friends and family

Totally agree with this ethos, I cant complain about entering then.

It was purely a question, sometimes you get booby prize instead of the main prize......i was only asking!
