    I'd just like to say the it annoys me LOTS when someone wins something amazing and can't be ar**d to spend a minute searching for who posted the comp :mad::mad::mad:

    rant over

    Enjoy your Saturday ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Understandable if an iphone or ipad suddenly turned up in the post with no notification as there are loads of those comps, but there are some prizes which are fairly rare so shouldn't be too hard to find. Or a quick note on the thanking thread to say that a search was done, but they couldn't find the comp.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    True, and I've had prizes before (mainly DVDs) where lots of people have posted similar comps so I list and thank them all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I just hate it when they post "thanks to whoever posted this comp" :mad::mad::mad: If they put that they'd tried searching but no joy then fair enough :D (I did this with the Wii I won and someone else told me which comp it was from, turns out I entered outside MSE, very rare for me!)

    really winds me up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good luck with the race zombie :A is it the one in Stewart's park or does it start in town centre? (I should stand at the side with a sign saying..'good luck zombie' :p the girls have gymnastics first but may be able to watch some of it later :) well done you for taking part :T

    Melvis, I agree. There's lots in iwiwiw just saying what they won and not thanking.

    Sylvia, that made me laugh what your DD said too! :D kids can be really embarrassing sometimes! I think I mentioned it before but when I worked in nursery, we had a new boy who was very shy. We asked him to have a look out of the window to tell the class what the weather was like just to get him to talk. He proudly shouted from the window...'it's pi$$ing down!' :o :rotfl:

    Recieved two free samples of dog food today in the post which jasper has happily claimed! Off to check in freebies :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I have no idea, not been before, but someone who has is giving me a lift there and back so Ive not really looked into it TBH. Its my plan this aft to get everything ready.

    Ive seen you just posted which comp one of the prizes might have come from. I always try to put the name in the title of my IWIWIW post to the person Im thanking is more likely to see it.

    Becks the purple cat is cute. Well done on winning. I didn't know I won until it appeared.
    fire**fly hope you and your DH have a wonderful day and the weather picks up for you. So far the weather is nice here. Will have to cut the grass later if weather stays good.
    LM well done on finishing your assigment. I would love to take up studying again. Now if I could just decide what to study.
    wingobins thanks for the laugh about the biscuits. Well done on winning yesterday.

    Afternoon everyone, back from getting my haircut and baby Dexter (1 Month today) was awake the whole time :) I didn't have to pinch him or anything ;) Loved having a cuddle with him. Can't see me ever having Grandchildren myself, my DD is 36 and hasn't got a maternal bone in her body :(

    No wins in the post, but I did have a letter saying that I had overpaid £320 in tax :D so that was nice.

    Totally agree Melvis, I've quite often found the comp for people, but rarely do they go back and actually change the post to thank the OP.

    Good luck tomorrow zs, hope the weather is kind to you.

    Glad you had fun with Dexter Sue. The way my older 2 sons are going it will be one of the younger ones who gives me a grandchild first. They both love kids but neither has had a serious relationship for ages. Maybe the Australian girls will sort them out! Great news on the tax front.
    I have been for a walk and it is roasting here now!
