are there any prizes which you don't want to win AGAIN

for me it's canvas/hessian shopping bags & aprons

they're not too easy to avoid as they are often included in prize bundles where the rest of the prize is really good

    I love the canvas bags so feel free to send them my way (less so the hessian) but I do agree about aprons. I've got half a dozen sitting in cupboards from the last year or so.

    Rio 2 - anything

    I like canvas prints so the more the merrier.

    I actually don't mind multiple things, it means I can give a load away as presents so I don't have to buy anything! :P

    Definitely chocolate! So many prizes include chocolate in some form, and I LOATHE the stuff - I can't even stand the smell _pale_ - so the thought of having it in my house doesn't appeal at all. The remainder of the prize has got to be truly brilliant before I'll enter a comp where the dreaded c-stuff is part of it!
    Back after a very long break!

    If you are suffering with unwanted comp wins, please spare a thought for your local Scout pack who specialise in recyling unwanted goods into funds. (Me, biased? Absolutely!)
