    Haha, lisylou - that's pretty much the same answer that I would give! Also ones for big appliances such as washing machines or large furniture. I live in a rented flat with nowhere to put anything that's not already in it!

    Its the same for me with some larger appliances.
    I would also love to enter comps for a new bathroom or kitchen, but not owning the house usually means I cant
  • 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.



    There's a website called something like "Big Gay Picture Show" which has given away some interesting sounding DVD's however I'm paranoid that the website's name will be printed on the package and that my parents will think I'm ordering a certain type of "interesting DVD"!

    There have been some lovely hotel stays to win but if they are only for one night and it's a long drive/train ride away then I don't enter as I work every day except Sunday so I would have to take annual leave which I would rather save just in case I win a big holiday!

    I also don't enter wedding ones or any for furniture no matter how nice it is as I live in a small flat and have no room for anything else.

    I have never been tempted to sign up for facebook or twitter despite there being some great prizes to win on them as I am a private person - I would rather be anonymous on here than tell the world what I'm up to and post selfies!

    Ah no its just a normal packet/envelope thing. Anyone could have sent it.

    And yes I won a DVD ages ago, but when I looked on imdb for the name of the movie it was a sweet little film that came up.
    When the DVD arrived it was a umm errr gay umm err rude movie. :o
