    Magpie Nest win it Wednesdays have disappeared as well-they moved from FB when the feed changes came in & went to instagram and twitter but there hasn't been any for a while. Also no Wallis Wednesday today, their social media say's to look out on Friday for something...I wonder if they are bringing their old comp back?

    Oh I remember the Toblerone Tuesdays!
    Also, perfectly clear (flavoured water) on Fridays TW. There was a tea one as well, Yorkshire, PG?
    I agree, they have been fizzling out- I just did a hashtag search on TW and got comp tweets from last year.
    Win It Wednesdays & Freebie Fridays have been getting less and less:( I wonder what will disappear next, Sudocrem on a Friday? Even seasonal ones aren't what they were a year or two ago.

    It was Tetley Tea that did the freebie Friday. There was a porridge one as well that doesn't come up anymore.
    Perhaps all the sob stories/stupid pictures/begging, etc is putting companies off.
