    I like the way everybody jumped to 'Mam of 7's defence.
    The thing is, is that a lot of people are fed up with posts like that. The person who commented did mention that there was a thread somewhere about it. I wonder if they will end up coming on here and having a read through? :rotfl:
    Btw, the 50th birthday soup lady has a new best friend. It's still 'loved liked dreamed' but a different name.
    Another thing, I don't like that cardigan that is being given away, the colour would make me look like a giant bogey - just saying ;):rotfl:

    I'm sure this has already been said, but how does a Mum of 7 find the time to enter all these competitions?

    I struggle keeping up just fitting in my housework and walking the dog!

    Another one, on twitter, posting a selfie with her gob wide open in reply to every competition tweet is also getting on my wick.

    Why cant people just do as the promotor asks!?

    I'd be interested to know Ma of 7 and madame selfie's win rate!

    Good posting thread since I too refuse to enter comps which are littered with sad story comments. I think Thomas Cook currently have a father's day photo comp which are littered with nice pics of dad's but also sad comments which seem a little desperate to me. Presumably on FB they just want you to comment so all your FB friends are suddenly tied into the comp potentially rather than 'who's got the saddest story they wish to share'.
    I'm very sorry for people's losses and sadness however you don't need to share on competition entries surely. My Dad's got dementia and I certainly won't be sharing that on a competition entry in an attempt to win some vouchers!
    It's a bit like those people who win the lottery jackpots and go public...are they bonkers!!

    Today's National Lottery hourly Comp is bringing them all out of the woodwork

    Comment on what you see. "A boat" Or "A car". That's all that's asked for

    But no, out come the sob stories and emojis and virtual begging comments!

    Aaaaaaah!

    I see that 'mum of 7' comments everywhere, I kind of feel sorry for anyone who reduces themselves as simply a mum of 7. I am a mum but feel no need to comment on FB comps about it because whilst I'm a mum it's only a small part of my identity, I'm so much more than that. Although with 7 I guess you don't have much time for much else (other than hundreds of comps evidently).

    I wish there was not only a 'no sob/begging story' rule, but also only one emoji allowed rule. :T:T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    So there :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p :rotfl:
