    The worst one has to be "tell us why you deserve this prize" :(

    I don't even bother with those.
  • I'm sick of seeing Keith Lemon in the Carphone Warehouse advent.

    Even when a comp asks for a specific answer people are still getting their sob stories in.

    Have you no shame, people? It's a nail varnish/bottle of wine/jumper you wouldn't be seen outside in ... it's not going to change your life, or cure your mother's cancer!!!!

    Sorry, rant over (and not aimed at anyone in particular ...)

    Yes like 'what is your favourite Christmas tradition?'

    Sob...sob...each year, since my dear mum died of 6 types of cancer, we always stand her urn of ashes under our tree right next to our inflatable Father Christmas.....

    I've gone to enter a few where they've asked eg. what would you most like for Christmas, but I feel really last saying a new Dyson hoover when people are saying a new kidney for my husband / my mum to be pain free / a cure for my sister's cancer! I just don't enter any now where there are loads of sob stories!

    Has any one else lost the N-Z web page advents from the sticky, or have advents sent my eyes crazy!?
