Late Late Gifts Competition Update

You may remember that I recently started a giveaway with Late Late gifts.


I have had to delete the original post as I was getting so much grief from people who had posted a link to my blog on a money saving forum, so many hate emails after I made it clear that they were not welcome to enter as they were not legitimate blog followers, including an email I just received saying "You are a repulsive whore. I hope you rot in hell you hideous beast."

Now obviously I am not bothered by their hate emails, you know the old saying - sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? It's especially true if the person is a faceless email, you just delete it.  But considering this giveaway was just supposed to be a nice thing to do, to give back to you girls who read my blog it's kind of rendered the whole thing pointless.

The only reason I didn't impose as strict rules as usual was because of the eternal bitching on twitter about too many rules,  I now wish that I had ignored that to be honest as it's caused me a right hassle so the rules will go back to whatever they normally are for regular giveaways in future as this has wasted my entire day.

So the point of this post is to say that I have therefore closed the competition

I will speak to the people at Late Late Gifts on Monday and see what they suggest.

Obviously I am very sorry I have had to take this down, and obviously I am sure you can see why I did.  I will update you with what is happening with the competition as soon as it's decided.  You know, if I'm not too busy being a repulsive whore ;P

Edited to say - As of Sunday evening I am STILL receiving emails from people regarding this issue.  Just to make you aware these have been and will continue to be deleted without being read.

Grrr it makes my blood boil when people are so pathetic and idiotic! You are definately not repulsive in the slightest..you are a gorgeous girly with a fabulous personality to match! People like that spoil it for everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

@scouselovesmakeup - thanks hun I just don't think they realise how pathetic it is to send abuse to one girl about a small competition about a free manicure..I mean really its not really worth calling someone a c*nt and a whore is it?

I can't believe people bother to spend their time sending you nasty messages just because of a competition! They must be such bitter people in real life too??

I hope you're not letting any of them get to you... they're just saddos with nothing better to do than send anonymous emails to people they don't even know. Urgh I just can't comprehend why they would want to do that!

Computergirl said...

Oh my goodness, that's so not on! Free is generous and you are under no obligation. IT sounds like some people really are desperate for free stuff!!

Some people really need to take a step back (into the real world!)
Sorry you got hate emails and a load of stress. Thats awful.

Milly said...

That really is such a friggin' liberty of those people to be insulting you like that. I hope you are ok honey. You are the bigger person to rise above it, and I think you couldn't get further away from being repulsive!!
Shallow and pathetic children who have too much free time to get upset about a free manicure! Laughable!
love and hugs x x x

Oh my gosh! I hate how the internet makes people think they have the right to say things they would be too scared to say in real life. I hope THEY rot! Keep up the awesome blogging sweetie xxx

Laura said...

OMG, I can not believe that someone emailed that too you. You have to feel sorry for them really, they must have extremely sad and pointless lives to send emails such as that. Hope it hasn't got you down too much x

Paula said...

Ignore them! In all my communications with you, you have always been so lovely! I can't believe people are being so mean! x

Sarah from IHeartCosmetics said...

Thanks for your kind messages everyone, at least the nasty blog comments have stopped for now. I am still receiving emails from them so I am just deleting anything from anyone that I don't know now, it's easier!

toni said...

Hi I'm just writing to say ignore them! You've always been lovely to me in your responses on youtube.

I don't enter your competitions as I'm not a follower of your blog (don't have an account) just a reader (Though I do follow your youtube etc.) and it would never cross my mind to be so petty over a simple manicure.

Xx

@toni - hun if you ever want to enter just pop me an email, you are a legitimate follower and more than welcome to join in even if you don't follow the blog x
