in Compers chat corner
and websites or Vice a versa? I am trying really hard to win something nice for my pregnant wife so have entered loads of spa days and makeup/clothing comps. I get more daily emails regarding the "latest look" or "deal of the day" than manly things lol

I also wondered if not subscribing to newsletters gives you less chance of winning? I know that might be skeptical

    and e-mail sign up should make no difference to your chances of winning unless stated in the comp terms and conditions (T&Cs)

    My hubby won one of our nicest prizes for me :) A pampering set from Green and Spring, which was most def for ladies, xxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

     Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx

    Mr GB won a fab bra from Woman's Own FB page :)
    Even better tho', it arrived as a Debenhams voucher for the cost, so was able to use it on something he wanted (I have loads of bras!)
    Worse things will have happened in the world today...
