    I've just noticed one half of the "Married in Michigan" duo as struck again! this time with the son&wife's wedding photo. To win a sponge cake.

    I stand corrected. The husband (of the mother) would like to win the sponge cake for his & his lovely wife's 35th wedding anniversary on the 27th!

    Dunno why, but this made me giggle more than it should have done.
    I think it's because for all the effort they put in to win a cake, you can go to the shop and buy a Victoria Sponge for a quid.
    It's beyond pathetic :o

    Seen the stacked up washing '4 kids and a husband' post.
    I dare one of you lot to post a photo of a rather nasty pair of skid marked undies*. (you don't have to own the pair, just a piccy found on google will do) :rotfl: I'd even post a reply underneath that 'this post deserves to win!!' :rotfl:
    Be Lucky.

    *I am surprised, unless I have missed it, that someone hasn't done that already.

    Same. :o I feel like an intruder on their lives-I know rather a bit about them now, everytime they post, woo! family update!
    I get the "woo! I've won" feeling- even for small prizes, but there is a limit! revealing personal info for a cake? no thanks.

    I thought I'd seen it all.

    Mentioning a brain tumor to win a gift pack including:

    A cleanse
    A water bottle
    A nature adult coloring book
    A hip Hop Abs Workout
    A pumpkin Spice Latte Foam Hand Soap
    A workout Journal
    An agility Ball
    Nail Polish
    Why do mice have such small balls?
    Because so few of them can dance.
