Unwanted win - anyone interested?

Hi, guys.
This is the first time I have posted on here. I'm a bit of a sporadic comper and I've just won my first proper prize and I don't want it! It's a wakeboarding break for 2 to Loch Lomond. Far too scary for me!! I've tried to give it away to friends and family, but it's only valid until 20th October and no-one can fit it in.
I can't post a link to the prize because I'm a new user, but it's a night B&B and a full day wakeboarding and it's in the archives of the Visit Loch Lomond site if you search for "wakeboarding" and also in the "game over" part of this website.
I guess you might have to pretend to be me, but they only have my name and email address so it shouldn't be a problem.
Let me know if any of you guys would like it!
Thanks.
Kate

  • Oh, I just read the sticky about giving away unwanted prizes. I guess this is against the rules, huh? :(
    Sorry, guys. Just didn't want to see it go to waste...

    If you are on FB there is a facebook compers swap group, you may be able to swap it for something on there?

    Sorry but it really bugs me why you would enter for something you really don't want and therefore depriving someone who would really love it the chance to win. Just doesn't make sense to me but each to their own

  • I totally understand why it bugs you. I entered for my brother, who loves extreme sports, but he couldn't fit it in as it was only valid for a month, which I thought was pretty mean!
    Sorry - I really do want it to go to someone who'll enjoy it!!
  • oh get off your high horse stokiebecks ! pm me if you want links to swap groups . we have had this drama over and over again. its up to everyone what they enter and what they do with there wins. dont stand in judgment of anyone

    Why don't you ask them to draw another winner?
