    I'm amazed by how much everyone wins, even discussions on what to do with surplus prizes. I too had decided that perhaps Shortlist and similar sites were for the young. I've come to the conclusion they they don't like my name, my age or my email address because I have entered hundreds, or probably thousands, of competitions and won nothing!

    Oh I did win a combi camp trailer with Good Housekeeping in 1978 and a pretty good torch in another competition but all that does is remind me of the BMW Z3 that it was a runner up prize to.

    But, I'm not ready to give up just yet.
    No spam please I'm British!

    Hi Stellar

    Your comments made me smile so much because that is exactly what I have been thinking too! In fact I changed my email address not long ago for that self same reason. I change my photo on facebook & twitter all the time. My name I cannot do anything about but it is an oldish name and really gives my age away I think - but like you I keep going and you never know one of these days!

    Good luck
    xx
