OK Guys,

Excluding the competition we launched earlier today where you can win a Cheryl Cole '3 Words' Gold Disc, I am suspending all further competitions until further notice.

As many of you will be aware, we have had a LOT or problems with postage recently, the company I am using has made some serious **** ups which in turn is making me look bad, as if I haven't sent the prizes.

To try and prove that I HAVE actually fulfilled my end of the bargain (bought, paid for and obtained prizes, run competitions, chosen winners, packaged prizes, taken to post office and sent them out to people), I even posted a picture of the receipts I was given by the post office for each prize.

Despite this, there are still some who don't believe a word I say. Im not going to name names, but from now forward, there will be no further competitions until all prizes have been received by all people. I would have liked to continue to do competitions for you guys, but Id rather not be known as somebody who is trying to rip off my users by doing competitions, and not fulfilling my duty of sending prizes out to winners - all this despite the fact I've already given out well in excess of £1,000 worth of prizes which people have already received.

I apologise about suspending competitions, but like I said, Id rather wait and know that all people have received prizes, than worry what people are saying (or thinking) about me behind my back.

As I said, this suspension does not include the Platinum Disc Competition we launched earlier today - so entries into that competition can continue as normal. This is just for FUTURE competitions, one's that include pairs of tickets to The X Factor Live Tour, the next Girls Aloud or Cheryl Cole tour, and a number of other high-value items.

Yeah I can understand people not being able to fully trust somebody online, but you know, if we were out to stitch up our users, 1. People wouldn't continue using this site, 2. Nobody would have ever received any prizes from us, which isn't the case.

Yes you will. Everybody who has won prizes will still get them. Im just stopping any new competitions until everybody who is owed prizes, gets them. Whether that takes a day, a week, or a month, that's how long it'll be.

I dont understand how people can be so mean. YOu HAVE sent the prizes, as long as YOU know you have.. who cares.

And I totally agree with what you've done Andrew :)
