  • I want B&Q to hurry up and start giving away shopping vouchers and stop flogging their Christmas lights! :D

    Yes - they caught my interest with the voucher giveaway on Day 1. Maybe that was the idea...

    How about Carpetright? I'm watching because I rather need some new carpets or flooring. But on the days they've given anything away at all, it's been: 'a luxury faux fur bean bag', 'cosy slippers', 'a personalised cheeseboard & wine glasses'.

    Still, you've got to laugh :rotfl:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    Just when I got my life back from hunting stupid humming birds the flamedeers rear their ugly heads.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    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 ...)

    actually my Mum died of 4 forms of cancer but I've never ever use it as an excuse to try to win a prize. Do these people so desperately want a bottle of bubble bath ?

    No advent wins for me but other wins are really going well

    Seen some over the last few days that all they require is an answer to a simple question, and people are answering it, then are proceeding to add a sob story to the end of it.
    I've been showing DH some of the stories I've come across ('cos I don't think he believed me when I told him some of the stuff people have posted) And he can't believe some of the really personal stuff people are posting to win something. I have said that some stuff might be made up, but he was still a bit shocked that people would do that.
    BTW, I haven't won anything either on the advents. Just saying lol.
    Be Lucky

    Good luck in trying to win one :) fingers crossed for you.
    Tbh, I don't mind what I win, I'm not entering all of them daily (some stuff is either not worth entering, or it's something I don't need/want, so someone else can have a go for it) Just a little bit of something from the advents would be nice, I just don't believe in posting what I consider very personal stuff to win it.
    I have won 3 things this month anyway, just not Advent related, so even if I don't win anything from them, at least I've got something to show for the effort lol.

    Been trying to win a soup maker for a while! So if I don't win one or receive one for Christmas, I have decided to buy one in the January sales :)
