    Like most on here, i only enter things i can use - the paintball tickets have gone in the bin, because i know i didnt enter a comp to win them, i think they have been sent out after entering a different comp without me realising they were the 'boobie prize'.

    If i cant use it, or know someone who can, i dont enter!!

    Same here I only enter for things I want or the kids want - I cant see the point of entering for things we cant use and are of no use to us. I think the win is better and means more if its something you want.

    But each to there own - we are all on here for our own reason - and am please to see people on here winning as I am of getting my own:D
    Back and on a mission:cool:

    I only enter for something that I, my family and friends would like.

    However, I was so lucky when Al Mac won a Welsh Rugby dvd and offered it to me which was so kind of him. He paid the postage and didn't want a refund so, with his blessing, I put a few pounds in the Lifeboat collecting tin.

    People on here are very generous. I have been pmmed and offered tickets that people have won and can't use but, because of ill-health, I could not use them either.

    i've only seen people saying they would bin the paintballing ticket and to be fair they have a right to, it could end up costing an arm and a leg!

    I only enter for things Id like, or I know family / Friends would.
