    Had to have a read, I don't know what offends me more - the sob stories or those who have made their answers into poems!

    I really Lol'd at this one, which is hopefully a pee take:

    I do believe that some sad stories are true but I KNOW many are not. I'm sure the companies running the comps aren't stupid so if they do read through ALL of the comments left, I am sure they will be able to weed out the porkies (and probably have a little chuckle too!).

    Does anyone know of any comps where a winner was chosen after submitting a sob story?
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
