    Almost equally annoying are the bloggers who post things like " wow! great prize would love to win it so I can do a review for it on my blog, here is the link"
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    I won't mention this person's name but they commented and shared 3 times under a giveaway post.....I copied and pasted....

    1) My Mother told me to love...so I have liked your page and this post.
    She told me to care and share...so I have shared with everyone I know.
    My Mother told me to show appreciation. So Thank You for this prize.
    Good wisdom is never outdated.

    2) Liking is loving and sharing is caring...Loved and Cared x Then came back and reshared

    3) Liking is loving and sharing is caring...Loved and Cared x THEN EVEN BETTER....RESHARED

    The more annoying thing is the fact a lot of the time these people win. I saw someone say "they would be so happy and this would complete their life they won and would make their family complete" - The prize was a lipstick or something similar. I then noticed they actually said this on every single competition. I tried it for two weeks out of interest - Seeing if kissing behind really worked but it didn't for me.

    I am boring. I usually give a DONE! Occasionally with a fantastic giveaway :)

    How awful, this post is. I have stopped sharing fb posts to be honest. But yes I do feel like writing under some sob stories "REALLY, WOW"

    some of the replies in response to the best freebie

    Can't decide if I prefer the new wife after first wife dies of cancer, the blind dog or IVF treatment.

    As it's a random draw I might go with either cornflakes or newt...

    Oh god... there were several IVF and a surrogate mother one too. I would be tempted to go with something random like cornflakes as well... let a bit of sarcasm drip into their feed lol
