Just curious if you purposefully avoid entering some comps?
I avoid anything to do with long flights (hate flying).
A sky-walking or hot air balloon flight would be a nightmare for me.
Not entering car comps (do not drive).
Also meet and greet celebs type of comps would be a punishment for me. :wink:
Spa - again I would die from boredom. :lol:
Obviously many people would love to win any of the above, and things that I would like to are probably avoided by the others.
So, please tell me, what comps do you avoid?

I enter them all - am sure someone in my life would love the prizes I dont (and it becomes a Birthday / Christmas present teehee) Only thing I have won that no family member wanted was a bungee jump, but got someone else to take it. Didn't even want to enter, but it was part of the night out and everyone at the night out was entered automatically teehee.
However, if you won a spa and struggled for someone to take it, I am more than willing :lol:
I figure the more I enter, the more chance I have of winning :lol: :lol:
My mum's neighbour is a competition addict. She has won holiday's, cars, concert tickets, sunloungers, all her Christmas decorations etc. Mind you, she used to spend all day entering them - on the radio, in newspapers, magazines online. She doesn't win as much now she works :lol:

I dont enter them all. My youngest is now 2 years, so if there is something specifically for a baby I don't enter. Also if I have to travel to mainland Britain for the prize (like a themepark) then I don't enter either.

I agree I usually enter them all. I'm sure if I won something I couldn't use a member of my family would happily take it off my hands :lol:

I think many prizes are not transferable, so if you win a holiday to Australia, for example, without any wish of going there, you won't be able to offer it to any of your family and friends.
Though I agree it is very nice to share. I won a big hamper of Mrs Crimbles goodies about a month ago, there was no note enclosed and I have no idea what the comp was or when I entered it (must have been on the auto-pilot after sleepless nights). Half of the hamper went to a friend who is on gluten free diet. I kept the cakes and rice cakes, and Eddie loves them, especially the chocolate coated rice cakes. Takes after his chocoholic mother. :lol:
