    Is that two featured in one week? The DM seems to be really into comping at the moment...

    dire reporting - for a start don't feel so sorry for her about her 'unable to work' illness, it's 4% of the world NOT only 4 people

    plus i'm sure in the 4hrs she spends trawling her poor child around supermarkets would be spent a bit more productivly & bring in a better reward financially

    I dont come on here as often as I used to as it seems there is always someone who has read things like that and they can't understand why they are not wiinning after a week or so.
    It took 6 months before I won and then another 5 for the next win ad I considered this as lucky.
    Its a shame that there are so many trying to 'get rich quick'.

    Every one of these articles that I've read (and there have been a few lately!) mentions that the person in question spends hours a day "trawling" the internet for competitions.
    Surely any comper worth their salt doesn't need to trawl as they would use a comping portal such as MSE, Hot UK Deals or some other such site?? Why on earth would you waste effort looking for comps yourself and probably missing out?!
    I think they just say that to make it sound more like hard work! ;)

    To enter the amount that she is surely it must be MSE,rather than the others mentioned.
    No other site has that amount of comps posted.

    It looks to me as if she is couponing more than comping.

    I did laugh at the 1000s of prizes she had won as she was sitting among a pile of pizzas. :rotfl:

    Did you notice her daughters age changed at least twice?
