The DM is a toxic newspaper that thrives on selling stories about the so called culture of dependency, immigration and celeb skinny/women bashing crud.

Liz jones works for them, enough said!!

I find it vile and vulgar.

Stay away from it, its toxic.

Liz jones works for them, encouraging other women to sell their souls to them.. Its vile and vulgar.

Very true. Also seems to have a very unhealthy obsession with the Kardashians, Suri Cruise & Samantha (I love myself) Brick. Must be slow news these last couple of days judging my some of the c**p stories they were featuring this weekend!

Although we never know for sure what use people might make of a prize. I very rarely enter for anything children/family related. As I have no kids and hardly any family. But I am entering a daily to win a kiddie book that I really want. Also, I didn't, but I considered entering to win a kiddie scooter, because we might be looking for something like that to convert to something to help us 'walk' one of our dogs who has a bit of a mobility prob.

The point I'm making is that it's too easy to judge other people for what they do and what we perceive as their motives. Personally, I think there are more important things to get worked up over. Other than where people deliberately break the rules/terms, or do something like trolling, I'd rather assume that people have their reasons for what they do, and leave people in peace to decide for themselves. That way, they might be gracious enough to do that for me

The name rang a bell with me too, but can't find anything on here. It's possible I might've read something on FB ...

It might have been to do with this incident:

Her husband was jailed and she received a suspended jail sentence in 2008.

I am surprised anyone with a recent past like that that would want to do an article for the Daily Mail.

..... But as they say - There's now't so queer as folk!

It does with me too but she isn't listed on the winners groups on FB that i'm with and apart from here I don't know of any other compers?

It rings a bell with me too and I'm not a comper. I just looked at this thread because it sounded interesting. Perhaps she's a journalist?

Also remember as this is a "Newspaper" story how much of this has been enhanced, fabricated, sensationalised as journalists like to do?

Her name also rings a bell with me but I cannot recall where from.

I have a FB friend who enters for anything and everything and I am sure he/she does not realise what they are doing as they occasionally have the little rant about people entering for stuff they do no need I have seen like and shares for this person for horse blankets, cat food, baby stuff and wedding stationery and I know for a fact they do not have pets, are married and no children in their family! I am often so tempted to ask why on earth they are sharing these comps but would never bring myself to do that. I think for some people they just have to win no matter what the prize is and then boast "5 wins today". Yeah, 5 wins of absolute rubbish that you can never use!

Personally, I would rather invest my valuable and little time I have available for comps in entering for prizes I want and will use.

Unfortunately some people don't have scruples & their wins are straight on ebay or gumtree.

I don't have any hang ups over what people enter. If a comper enters to win things they do not need or wish to sell for cash then as far as I am concerned that is ok AS LONG AS THEY ENTER/PLAY BY THE RULES. It is the cheaters I cannot abide!

I too have friends on Facebook who enter to win baby stuff when they have no kids, dresses to suit skinny teenagers when they are older/a size 18+, dog beds/collars when they don't have a dog etc, but I would never say anything to them as I think it is their business and none of mine! They don't cheat, as far as I know, so I don't get wound up over it. I have more important things in life to think about.

An interesting read. Thanks But no it wasn't that (had not seen it before), it was definitely comping related.

I was also struggling to think where I recognised the name from, then remembered the name of Andy Murray's girlfriend - Kim Sears!

Don't know if that's where other folk recognised the name, but I'm sure that's how I did.
