    Well, actually Debs, there are some of us who wouldn't be disappointed by winning a case of alcohol-free wine, providing it was one of those brands that manage to make an acceptable substitute.
    Having been stricken by an attack of acute pancreatitis 15 years ago, with a 3 week incarceration in hospital, followed by consultant's advice to avoid alcohol as it can precipitate a recurrence (10% of victims don't survive), resorting to some versions of de-alcoholised wine has been a godsend.


    Thanks for sharing that (I take it I'm the Debs you were referring to in your post?)

    And the 3 Things you DO NOT want to win are.....?

    I'm surprised so many of you don't like spa days - I am so busy working 6 days a week that I would love a bit of time off for myself to stop and relax - so if you aren't all entering the dozens of spa day comps that come up who is - because I haven't won one yet?!! :)

    New release DVDs/Blu-rays that you don't receive for months after release.
    If you really want it then it's already been purchased and the prize value will usually be nowhere near the original one claimed that long after release.

    I don't enter for any DVDs/Blurays any more they are all on ShowBox within a couple of weeks of release ;)

    I rarely enter for them but have spent almost nothing on my collection

    (Not shoplifting but if Amazon vouchers are an option I always take them for both surveys and comps)
  • As an avid crossword comper, I'd love never to receive another runner-up prize of a pen or dictionary - which you'd think most crossworders already have. However, both of those were beaten for most useless prize by The Guardian. For completing their cryptic crossword I received a copy of ...... "How to Solve The Guardian Cryptic Crossword" !
