I hate the ones that say 'tag loads of people' A lot of my FB 'friends' wouldn't really appreciate my tagging them. I think I get up people's noses by doing the sharing thing tbh (although, I couldn't care less about some folk on there anyway lol)
I don't have instagram/Pintrest anyway, so I'm not bothered about comps exclusive to those, but I have seen a few comments directed at the promoters requesting that they add either TW or FB so they can enter. I think it is a tad cheeky, but some people seem to be scared of missing out trying to win a candle/air freshener/bag of sweeties, etc.
Plenty of sob stories as expected too. I'm surprised that the 'selling your soul' thread hasn't gone into overdrive tbh, but we have seen a lot of it before. I have seen a couple of 'disabled children' stories trying to win a packet of pencils though. Oh dear.
BTW - a week already? It won't be long before this is over and we'll be talking about and getting ready for next years :eek:
Oh yeah, and I have won some fridge magnets & a £50 voucher, so I'm quite happy. :T
Be Lucky everybody.

Next years!:eek: My mother made her gifts/cards/wrapping lists for next Christmas the other day :rotfl:congratulations on the prizes- .. I still haven't chosen my challenges for next year (oops) if magnets hasn't been taken I may pick that...

I'm trying so hard to not respond to the sob stories with "nice sob story but you only need to like/share the post, write the hashtag, or answer the question"

they're so annoying!

I hate the tag 1, 2, 3 , 4 friends FB comps and more and more companies seem to ask you to do this these days, as well as share! I am aware that not all my friends share the same tastes as me so I always worry that they will be annoyed if I tag them to help me win, or win with me, something they don't really like! I love companies such as Staedtler, who just require you to like the post and copy and paste the given hashtag #STAEDTLER12daysofChristmas - so every entrant has the same chance

Someone had a go at people this morning about it. I can't remember which one it was - may have been the Swan one. Anyway, all you have to do is answer the question (Rudolph) , but as usual the woe is me stories were there. And someone even put the entire Rudolph song as their answer. No wonder people get hacked off. lol
Be lucky

Nothing for me, but then again. Most of the prizes don't reach my high standards :rotfl::rotfl: so i haven't been entering for much.

My brother has won a cat toy though and is in the final stage to win an amazon Echo i think it is, so he's doing better than me!

I can't keep up either. didn't help that I've had a bad headache since 5am Sunday that finally went away this morning.
I've been a bit hit & miss. I can't say that I've been too fussed about missing certain ones. Had a couple of wins though :T
Be Lucky
