but i really don't see your problem with somebody texting 70 people. it's no different to putting it on the internet for 70 people to see. i told 6 friends and relatives and they all got a holiday and in my opinion they deserved it just as much as anyone else who might have seen it here on MSE or another site.
my friends and family don't have a lot of money. some of them read MSE, some don't. some go on the internet daily, some don't. i wanted my friends to have the same chance that i had - i see nothing wrong in that. why are 'others' somehow more deserving than the people i know? i seriously doubt that the 'others' who might have called about this offer a few hours later than my friends did and missed out have any less money than my friends doIt`s getting to the point0 -

i went last year and they do not need proof except the confirmation
I wouldnt count on this!
Last year we got in no problems, but my sister got asked for identification, she only had her card and cheque book on her and after some consideration they accepted it!
also.....
my brother and his wife went and had problems because they had said there would be four of them and in fact they only took one child (when they booked they were planning on taking one of my kids but we got the same weekend too so it wasnt necessary).0 -

its a double edged sword i guess your right,everyone has diffrent views. i agree with everyone having a chance,but just not taking the p*ss
fair enough but i don't think letting your friends know is taking the p*ss. i don't have 70 friends though, just 6 :rotfl: (not everyone would want this sort of holiday, i'm cheap and cheerful but some of the family as a bit posh lol!)
i would never think of selling a holiday like this on ebay, or grabbing more than one for myself so i don't think i took the p*ss, i just passed the offer details around in a similar manner to fabwitch posting it on here (thanks fabwitch!!).
i saw one ebay listing where the seller said she got the holiday and then her husband wasn't allowed the time off work. i saw one poster on MSE saying the same. in such cases selling the holiday to raise money towards another cheap holiday or activity is okay i think.'bad mothers club' member 13
