    hi,

    i'm sure i'm on the wrong board but i find it totally confusing.

    i'd like to understand how social media competitions work.

    if i have a twitter or fb account that can be seen by all, and all i do is enter competitions with them, will that count against me as i'm seen as a 'professional comper' (even though i've taken as much time as anyone else to enter)?

    also, if i use roboform is that detected and my entry discarded?

    it seems to me that since comps have gone mainly social media way that it's not an even playing field.

    sorry if this is in the wrong place. please direct me to where it should be if so.

    thanks

    Good Morning,


    Just said goodbye to DS1 and his GF. They are off to Edinburgh today before having a night at Gleneagles tomorrow followed by visiting DS2, Stirling and Glasgow. They fly back early on Friday morning. They seem to have been having a great time and have been so lucky with the weather. GF has fallen in love with Scotland.
    DS3 still has over a week of his holidays left so will be here and away for the rest of it. Maybe I should open a B&B..........
    Planning our next break on 3rd June. Going to Dundee, Brechin, Aberdeen and back to Glenrothes (8 nights) Really looking forward to it.
    Must get on with changing beds etc now.
    Have a lovely day and good luck all.

    :hello: Good morning everyone


    Hope you're all ok on this scrumptious :drool: & glorious
    Whit Sunday! soleilcoeur.gif


    Dahlias are such beautiful flowers fire**fly. They were one of
    the plants that Mum & Dad grew regularly every year, along
    with chrysanths. Your lovely morning post yesterday brought
    back such fond memories for me. :A


    Sounds as if you had a wonderful afternoon/evening planned
    sylv with family & doglet walking. Pub meal was a brilliant idea,
    especially as they allow doggies. chienbisous.gif


    I see Celtic won the footie up your way rose! Dare I ask if
    they're the team your town supports because as you can tell,
    I know nowt about football! :o

    The Royal Wedding was absolutely magical, from beginning
    to end. The weather was beautiful. I was happily engrossed in
    it all day long! :j Windsor was at bursting point on the day &
    apparently 1.9 billion people watched the proceedings world-
    wide. :T


    Loved the modern twist. :heart:


    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQo-t9Dh__W7vZKMRaJ-lxk9nsNlX9sAZ_btRyUp73esZ6fBZGJRg


    The Gospel Choir took my breath away with their glorious
    performance of Stand By Me. The American Bishop with his
    wonderfully wise and well chosen words was brilliant! Such
    a character! :p


    I thought Meghan's dress was absolutely stunning.


    Also loved the personal tributes in memory of Diana. :A


    I could go on and on ...... perfect couple if ever there
    was. 0happycoeur.gif

    Morning peeps. a bit overcast here this morning but supposed to clear later. Yes Celtic won alfie and no they are not my hometown team. Still didn't stop the supporters having a good time last night. At my end of the town there is a pub that supporters use frequently as it is nearest to football ground and it was busy busy busy had to close my windows as could hardly hear TV for singing etc. Watched wedding yesterday with GD. GS wasn't interested. Loved her dress. Also that American preacher. I thought what the h*** but he was entertaining in his sermon. Shiels hope your DS and GF enjoy their trip before heading back. Hope everyone is well.

    Morning, I watched the wedding at work yesterday. Harry's mum would have been so proud of him and i'm sure when he was waiting for megan at he was shedding a few tears for her.I'm so glad the weather was lovely for him and everyone in Windsor.
    I am off today and just finished cutting the grass,must have timed it right as it was a bit dull when i started but sun is out and it's very warm out there now.Off to tip in a minute,hope you all have a good day

    Glad your home town team still had good time rose. My boys were watching and supporting them against Celtic (They are Rangers and Aberdeen fans normally!)


    Glad peeps enjoyed the wedding and had a little celebration.


    My dad always grew dahlias when I was young and won some prizes at the flower shows. Always love to see them, especially the spiky ones.

    Haven't had watercress for long time I don't think.
