    One I hated recently was a blogger who blatantly was asking companies for freebie holidays in the run up to Christmas so she could "review" for her readers :mad:

    Her top ones;

    Butlins Christmas

    Lapland to see Santa

    To see the Northern Lights (even named the place she wanted to go to)

    If I were the companies, I'd bin her name / blog FOREVER...as just comes over as being greedy

    You don't have to enter all the options on a rafflecopter (usually) it only takes one entry to win.

    Maybe read the very illuminating article I wrote on my blog some time ago entitled 'Just because someone is knocking at your door, you don't have to let them in'

    Sorry, I deleted the email that I'd received as thought "nope dear, not interested"

    Does Sponsored post mean someone has paid them to write it?

    Not necessarily *paid* but a freebie has changed hands

    why do any comp that are aimed at women never won by men - do they redraw ?

    time for a 'female' profile ::D

    I'm still quite new to comping and I just wondered is the "expired" button only to be used by the people who posted the thread or can anyone press it if they find a comp which is finished?
