Some of the comments people have left on the article are just horrible :
'Erm, if I’d have spent my time entering 100 competitions a day for 24 years I’d have earnt over £1m. And of course £100k of prizes is not £100k of money. What a massive waste of time...'
'As long as she’s not on benefits I guess I don’t mind. If she WAS on benefits then her winnings should be sold to give money back to the taxpayer - like that’ll ever happen with this soft government!!!'
'Competitions are hardly ever free phone or free post. I think she is like a gambler who never will admit how much she is in the hole, £150 a year cost yea right. Fair play for winning so many comps though.'
Just goes to show how narrow minded people are, I have no problem with the article as such but these comments are awful. Still I do think if she's winning things like nappies she could easily give them to her local maternity ward etc . But if she won it it's up to her.Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!
Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
Wishing all a little luck:beer:0 -
Good for her, though most agree they enter a lot more than that daily/weekly on here alone. I caught a series of the Kardashians the other week and one of the sisters is a competition 'addict' and they are absolutely loaded with money. Good enough for them with all their money its good enough for me !!0

Honestly, i thought the comments would be a lot worse.
The comments regarding benefits are "typical" comments left on DM articles.0 -
It seems like it's piqued a fair bit of interest. I am going to start comping again in October, and it looks like there may be even more competition!0

Agreed, the daily mail comments boards make you worry for society, they really do!0 -
You are right about the comments - obviously stuck up/jealous B******s! I hate the way compers are nearly always 'assumed' to be on benefits with nothing better to do!
Here are some more of the recent comments GRRRR:
Well done on winning a load of rubbish :-).
She needs to win a skip now.
Where on earth does "vile benefits scrounger come from", are you mad ?:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -

The trollish belief that if one is on benefits one is not allowed to actually DO anything to make one's life better, that being able to have a stable income high enough to come off benefits just magically happens all at once, does kinda boggle me at times.
but hey, it's the Daily Mail, feeding the trolls is its point in this world.0 -
I get an inspiring quote by email every day. I thought today's was relevant to this thread:
"Never waste time on the things you can't change or the opinions other people have of you."
I would have added "or energy" after the word "time".
Blu XI am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!
When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.0 -
I find it hilarious :rotfl:
(did anyone spot the deliberate mistake, its the same prizes in every photo, and most of it is tat imo) but if shes been compinfg for so long then of course she will win a holiday, and EVERYONE on here who comps for 20 years i guarantee you will win a holiday)
