    That's just horrible. Who even makes comments like that?! :eek:

    You go on your holiday and have a great time. Then laugh in the face of their jealousy.

    Congrats on your win - shame some people have such nasty bones.

    I reported something too the other day and got the same response.

    (Some company who posts stuff to FB gives me the creeps - constantly posting baby/children posts. This one I reported featured a burnt baby (yes, a pic you couldn't avoid). They used to post a load of pics of kids in makeup and stuff - most people just going 'aww how cute' but you know when you know in your gut something isn't right - I honestly think someone there has some very strange 'tendencies' but I can do naff all about it. If they won't remove a pic of a burnt baby, they aren't gonna be able to check out my 'hunches'. I bet these sorts of pics are being used to give them a licence to search for kids in makeup, heels, evening dresses, injured baby/children stories (and protect them/their search history if they do ever get 'found out'). Just weird.)

    Anyway, try to lock the nasty person in a virtual drawer and forget about them. Idiots.

    Think of it like this, whilst you're sipping a cocktail on a sun lounger on a fancy holiday you haven't had to pay a penny for, this wally will probably still be sat behind a screen spouting their venom at someone else!

    Bet half of these keyboard warriors would never have the bottle to say it to people's faces.

    I know its hard as you can receive lots of lovely messages but it's usually the one nasty fool who's comments resonates with us.

    Go have a great time ....and win even more! xx

    That's disgusting!! I have had a troll having a go when I have won before, I just blocked them immediately so I didn't re-read their comments and keep getting myself upset by it.

    Have a fantastic holiday and really enjoy it! :) x

    Ignore the troll.
    I had similar with an effort comp for a kindle. My particular troll was moaning about my entry and saying how much better hers was. Loads of people piled in and told her to back off, which made her worse..... I acted miss sweetness and light and made a big gushing post about how much I was going to enjoy using the kindle.... hehehe.......... she almost imploded ! :D

    I don't post on here very often these days but felt I should because of the disgusting comment made to you. I know it's easy to say and hard to do but just forget them and enjoy the holiday you've won. I hope you have a fantastic time.:beer::beer:

    how awful but at least you get the last smile flying on your holiday, I've had a few people tell me they hate me in jest but my theory is everyone has the same chance and like others have said you just have to rise above these comments.
