    Actually I bet many of the companies have a laugh during their lunch breaks reading them! They must know that 99% of them are made up!

    I've entered something on fb to win what looks like knee pads that workmen wear to save your knee joints, the question is where would you wear them first? I answered in the bedroom...well it's valentines lol

    That is a good answer Claire21 and the PR will probably smile at that and agree with me! :) good luck!! That is the type of answer I like - it has an 'edge' to it and leaves a little to the imagination and it is NOT a sob story or a obvious lie! :)

    If I read too many of the sob stories, I believe them, and start to think, "Argh. I shouldn't enter. All these people deserve it far more than little ol' me." So now I don't read others' entries, and enter anyway :rotfl:
