For me - muscle build-up supplements, weight loss/gym memberships and personal trainers! :eek: The thought of anyone (whether a George Clooney look-a-like or not) following me around a gym and making me exercise makes me really cringe!
:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

The prizes that they seemed to have found at the back of a cupboard. Scourers were a good one through vileda advent. Maybe the ones that need loads of effort for the tiniest bottle of bubble bath!New start.... positive vibes0

Meet and greets make me cringe and blush, I'll often see a great looking comp for a theatre weekend in London and then realise a meet and greet with the cast is part of the prize which puts me completely off entering

As above! Personal trainer sessions, meet and greets, marathon entries :eek:Also not a fan of the "win some ordinary object a celebrity has used" ones but there aren't too many of them, or horror DVDs/blurays. Yuk! I am still glad they are there though for people who would love to win them!0

Earlier today I saw a comp for a mattress slept on by one of the Stereokicks boys in the X Factor. Worst of all - 9 people had thanked the poster
Each to their own I guess!I just enter and forget...hoping to win something!

A makeover - I'd NEVER enter a competition for one of these. The idea makes me shudder.
Or a personal shopper. I'm thrifty and a bit of a bargain hunter. It would be a huge waste of everyone's time:pComps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%

Self catering holidays, whether UK or abroad.
Luxury holidays: then T&C says 3 star.
Descriptions llike "fantastic...", "ultimate ...", "VIP .....", etc
Home cinema then you find it has a 32 inch screen ...
