    "my late husband died before we could make our new home just as we wanted ......i am trying to finish decorating our adapted flat (i am disabled) in the way we planned before he was so tragically taken from me ..........this would be amazing to win, one of our favourites stores xx"

    Keep seeing this one pop up. Whilst dreadful if its true, I just can't see why they'd want to use it to win a small prize or two.

    Just seen this one. And read it out to DH who just shook his head. BTW, isn't it funny how, when a store runs a competition, tons of folk suddenly decide that it's their favourite shop? ;)
    Thankfully the winner for this one only asked for a phone ;):D

    All I can say to that is hurray!! :T

    Be Lucky :D
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    You have to simply comment "#shareit"
    At a quick glance there is a Mum with terminal cancer, (Who many are saying they hope wins :( ) and another who spent their wedding ring money on the funeral of their baby...:huh:

    !!!!!!? Seriously !!!!!! are these people thinking of? :eek:

    Cancer is truly horrible - Go look at my friend Heidi's blog, ("Storm in a Tit Cup") for further evidence of its cruelty... :cry:
    Dying babies - every parents' worst nightmare... :cry:

    It's a very nice prize, but I stand by my initial reaction !!!!!!?


    My dad has terminal cancer and I don't mention this to win a prize. What annoys me is how many people share sob stories then win :eek:

Christmas Day of course and hey hohoho the big round man in his big red suit and his hairy white beard santa clause with his red nosed pal rudolph so all you make sure you leave a great juicey carrot milk and cookies even maybe a mince pie cos he's soon sure to come hooray ....thanks for the chance to win'

    One I saw just now...


    "The first year me and my husband were together he brought me a necklace, i wore it through the hardest time of my life, we held my daughter whilst she past away, we cried, screamed and held each other tight, 8 years later we finally were getting ready to bring my next daughter home when we realised in the emergency rush i'd lost my necklace at the hospital, but my reward bringing my baby Faithy home was a fair swap! i think about that and do not own a necklace now, you have one on your site but i haven't the funds so this would be my favorite thing!!"


    It's just really effin' poor taste. To win a piece of jewellery of your choice.

    Jx
    2024 wins: *must start comping again!*

    Just read this out to Mr Dontone, who did his usual eye roll and lol'd at it.
    Trouble is, is that the punctuation is so bad, it made me out of breath 'cos I read it as it was written and my eyes hurt :rotfl:
    There should be a competition where the 'prize' consists of comma's & full stops. :T

    I also put "I'd share it with my kids" cos that's the truth! I bet most of the people claiming to share the prize with children's hospices etc, have no intention of doing so!
