    I had to laugh. I just entered a competition to win a breadmaker and it was printed in capital letters NO SOB STORIES OR BEGGING. Everyone was saying 'Oh no, I wouldn't do that!'

    I felt a bit guilty last night as I entered a comp and said it was my daughter's favourite perfume but it actually was. Guilty by Gucci.

    Some crackers on this comp

    Somebody has posted a photo of their sick child in hospital!!


    There's another poster who put up a photo of their son proposing to his girlfriend. I only mention it because I've seen this photo on several comps recently.


    My favourite one was the person who wrote that their pet caterpillar has athlete's foot!!!

    Can't believe some of the comments! I foster a child with learning difficulties - I've got financial difficulties and lost my dad last year and my mum the year before - my poor 82 year old dad has just been diagnosed with bladder cancer - and I'm sick to death of seeing that photo of that bloke proposing on one knee - let's hope the flaming wedding is soon!!:mad:

    I don't think its a real photo. I think its posed by models.

    The wedding is

    Saturday, March 4, 2017
    4:00 PM
    Attire: Black Tie Optional

    You can google the image and find the wedding website they have set up. It gives all the details. We have missed the bridal shower - gutted.

    I can't believe what lengths people go to... if I really like the product or my kids do I say something but never a sob story... if it says post 'WIN' in comments just do that fgs..
