  • I avoid those too - so I'll join you in being unsociable :)
  • No I don't it'll vary some pages I enter nearly everything and some I enter a couple. Depends what it is
    Started comping 7/12/15
    Prize fund 2015: £55.89
    Prize fund 2016: £679.76
    Prize Fund 2017: £51.94
  • I'm also a member of the anti-social club and so sigh when the 742 week (slight hyperbole there) around the world trip is for 2 people. Why is it seemingly taboo among competition promoters for a person to want to go on a cruise on their own?! :D

    I don't particularly like meet and greet comps either, so avoid them - even if it's for a band or personality I like.

    Not making myself sound very sociable am I? :D


    I won a personal shopping experience & it was great fun, the girl was lovely & it wasn't awkward at all & I'm not the world's most sociable person

    I don't enter for holidays abroad... i'd love to go abroad but 1 - not many cater for a family of 6!! and 2- i'm terrified of flying!!! lol There are also lots of UK breaks i'd love to go on but don't enter if there too far away as i don't think our rubbish car would make it very far! unless the comp includes train travel or something...

    i too am very shy so don't enter for personal shopper/makeover comps etc...

    And lastly... Wedding comps! I am actually engaged, but have been for 14 years now!! Don't think my other half actually wants to get married.. lol
  • I enter for most things and last year won a holiday for two so went with my youngest (left hubby and two older children at home) :)
    but like others I don't enter for wedding stuff or prizes for specific clubs such as Jewish/gay news, not sure why lol
    and I don't enter for stuff I don't want, can't see the point in that.

    I won one of these and didn't realize there would be help from a stylist until I arrived. But she was so lovely, didn't mind that I was shaped like a bag of spuds at all, and found some things for me that made me less spudlike! I think a lot of stylists work with the public so their social skills are decent. And if they are a bit snotty, just pick your clothes out and go!
  • Anything that involves taking a selfie or that people will vote on, no matter how great the prize. The voting is just a popularity contest and the selfie thing I hate photos of myself, and why do they even ask? So they can give it to the best looking person?!
    Make £10 per day-
    June: £100/£300

    Anything with a stylist
    Thats quite a lot actually
