    I wouldn't enter any from payday loan sites simply cos most of them involve liking them on Facebook, which I'm not prepared to do. However as others have said, by entering a competition you're potentially getting something from them for nothing; it's not as though everyone entering is going to be suddenly tempted into taking out loans they can't afford.
    We are all mature enough to decide what we do and don't want to enter. Personally I would never enter anything hosted by or sponsored by the Sun newspaper, and wouldn't dream of even clicking on a link to that rag, however I wouldn't expect them not to be posted on here just because I don't agree with them. I just skim over them, and same with Wonga etc.

    I'm not a cake person, seeing all the fairycakes with a plethora of icing is pointless. still tastes bland when you've go through the sugar.

    rather have a biscuit.

    Even biscuits now seem to come with a ton of icing though... look at the Biscuiteers ones.... Just a nice packet of Hob Nobs would be a good win :rotfl:

    Not my cakes! I'm not keen on piles and piles of icing - so sweet it burns a hole in your mouth! I like to use Italian meringue buttercream ( ok - I'm showing off now but I do make cakes for people so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!) - it's not so sweet and you can actually taste the cake underneath. And I do exceedingly good cake pops!
