    Yes! Sick of comps asking you to tell them who you love and why, what you want as a gift and what is your best chat up line etc!

    Once Friday is over it will be Mother's day comps next....tell us why your mum deserves this prize?......'and so the sob stories....'my dear mum has just been diagnosed with cancer'......'My mum has just lost her pet newt'! AHHHH! :D

  • Same as Mothers Day, Fathers Day, just a load of commercial c**p. It is all about one thing...... ££££££££££££££ for the card companies, florists etc.

    I'm newly engaged, completely loved up (to the point of wanting to throw up, haha) and I can't stand the fuss of Valentine's Day. My birthday is also 2 days before Valentine's Day, so I just don't care! However, I will use V-Day as an excuse for us to see MY choice of film at the cinema.
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    I entered a comp to win a video camera, they wanted to know what would be the first thing you'd video if you won.
    people were posting the usual pukey romantic nonsense.

    I felt like writing "yeah I'd video my penis!" :D

    Instead I said I would video my valentine cards, but I won't get any. :)

    sick of comps for who you love and why
    sick of comps for heart shaped pendants - 100's of them lol

    and as soon as its over - replace with mother's day which is 10 times worse. At least i have a Valentine but I haven't had a mother since i was 15 when she died aged 46 so i can't enter a prize to win my mum something

    I don't care no loves me, I'm just glad the frothy nonsense that is Valentine's Day brings with it more competitions!


    P.S I always thought you were the type to video your genitals :eek: ;)
