    Photo shoot - bad-hair-day following complete baldness not a great look!

    The "Absolutely gorgeous, "Soooooooo hope I can win this FANTASTIC (Insert several emojis!)" piece of tat that elicits such enthusiastic comments on FB.

    A bungee-jump. I did actually win one. Was the 1st prize, (I'd entered for runner-up prizes of shopping vouchers!) Ended up donating it to be raffled off for charity!

    Agree on short long-haul holidays, tho' leaning towards any long holiday too now we're adopted a dog.

    Size 10 clothing. In fact much of the ridiculous clothing that seems to be offered.

    Anything that requires jumping through hoops for a packet of sauce mix.

    I could go on... ;)

    Photoshoots - as it is likely that the winner will walk away with one small free photo and the chance to purchase the rest at a price!

    Make up. I wear hardly any and am fussy about the brands I do.
    Overnight stay miles away from home. Just not worth the hasle and expense of getting there.
    A gourmet meal prepared by a celebrity chef. I prefer simple food and would begrudge the expense even if it was free.

    * Photoshoots - i find them so cringy
    * Spa Days - my hair would be a frizz bomb by the middle of the day with all that steam and id just be stressing about how im gonna fix it.
    * Tacky clothes - Mainly from those cheap online shops where the models are wearing too much make-up and are luminous orange
    * Fussy food - I'm a very fussy eater
    * Hand/body creams etc - I'm just not into that and a lot of the time the packaging puts me off trying things.
    And as a side point, anything that looks tacky/has badly designed packaging, just puts me off!

    Some great/funny answers thanks folks :T

    It shows how different we are lots of folks don't want photos/spa days ect which I agree with, some folks don't phones/iPads ect which I would love to win, and others enter for any old crap, each to their own ;)

    Talking about things you don't get ...
    What is the point of 6 inch high heeled wedged trainers?
    Are trainers not for running, sports or in my case walking the puppy?

    I wonder if the England football team would do better if they had wedged trainers :rotfl:

    Keep them coming folks :beer:

    1. A pair of skins (read on)....and I did! I thought they were running skins, lesson learnt to read the short print.......they were 'made to measure condoms' and I was required to measure said manhood in various ways! Explain that to your hubby/partner :eek::eek:

    This really made me LOL :rotfl:

    I can just see all our lady compers walking up to their husbands/partners and saying "Excuse me dear but could you lob the old man out, so I can measure him............Thank You" :eek:

    I do NOT want to win:


    Anything to do with golf (yawn)
    Anything to do with gym memberships
    Anything to do with cruises (the thought of being on a boat in the middle of an ocean unable to get off horrifies me :eek:)

    I'd prefer being on a boat in the middle of an ocean than sitting in a tin can several thousand feet ABOVE an ocean- held up by questionable engineering and prays to every deity. :eek:
    I'd Love a gym membership as well, mine expired last month and I cant afford to replace it :( I'm starting to feel like a lump of lard. Agree with things to do with golf though!
