    I actually won a year's supply of cat litter!  You would be amazed at the number of people who, on hearing this, asked if I had a cat.  Struggled to get my head round why I would enter a competition to win cat litter if I didn't have a cat.
    You fundamentally dont understand the nature of this site's visitors if you have to question why someone would enter it without owning a cat

    Anyone want a Bumgun? (some kind of bidet spray/hose thing for cleaning yourself & your toilet)

    Telling me about the sea..."

    I won a hands free phone holder - it was an elastic band. I saw the funny side of it, but a lot of people were very angry.

    I can't find the old thread but there was once a draw to win a dog poo wormery.  Essentially it allows you to get a load of worms to eat up your dog's poo.  It is better for the environment than the usual binning and bagging, so not a bad idea at all, but it just sounds weird as a prize!

    The Alex Reid wedding ring competition was one of my 'just because' entries when I first discovered mag dailies.  Ah, memories!
