Sad Stories

There are several very sad reasons give here why people should win a spa day. I wouldn't like to be one of the people choosing the winner.

    They won't have a problem - if you read the terms and conditions, the winners will be chosen at random, so you could put that you wanted to win because you were really greedy and don't give a damn about anyone else and you could still win.

    I haven't entered but might go and write 'My consultant has just told me than I am going to die by the end of October because the drugs that are presently keeping me alive and kicking will no longer be free on the NHS - and as I am unemployed and living in a cardboard box, I can not afford to pay for them.....so as I am going to die please could you choose me to win so I can look my best for when the angels come down to collect me. They may not be able to attach my wings if the knots in my stressed shoulders are not kneaded away by a professional spa masseur! Thanks for the giveaway - I am dying so please pick me!!!'

    I must admit I only ever enter comps that require you to tell them why you want to win IF the winner is chosen at random. Then I can just tell them that I want to win because I love the prize. Simples!

    I cannot be bothered trying to compete against cheaters with sob stories. I am not saying I don't have a sob story to tell (cos I do!) - I just don't want to share my life story online for all to read!

    My mum doesn't have cancer but if she did, I don't think she would like me telling the world she is suffering just to win me/her a prize. Infact, I think she would be quite hurt!

    Here's another sad story

    If I win I will have to sell the prize to pay the mounting debts to the payday loan companies, due to my Mrs and her adictions to blood diamonds, genuine fur coats and cocaine.
