FEBRUARY COMPETITION.

Any idea what the comp is for this month. I know its early days considering that Jared has been poorly, but if you get to know, can you please post it here.

sure will - he mentioned video games for Feb a while ago but did it in Jan instead. As soon as we know I will pass it on. x

Have they ever done banking? I know when I was guide I asked for it but Seb ignored me.

I don't recall that being done before, I can put it forward if you like?

Shouldn't we wait untill the Jan comp winners are announced before we think about next months comp?

Anyways have they done films before, or at least a genre of film.

I don't see what difference it would make if the Jan winners were announced now or mid Feb... this is Feb... the sooner the comp is announced for that the more time people will have to enter.

I guess so

I like the idea of banking - or could we make it general 'finance' reviews to include stuff like mortgages? Also it's that time of year for people to think about putting the thousands they've earned on dooyoo into an ISA - I've seen some good reviews on that recently.

nooooo I already posted my killer mortgage review!

I would prefer internet too or books.

I think banking is a great idea! Or Internet...or books.

Anything but banking for me Lisa x

Why does everyone hate my category so much?!

Jared just informed me that we should know tomorrow what the comp will be. x

Goody ! look forward to it.

I wouldn't know where to start with such a review to begin with, plus thinking about banks just give me a headache Lisa x

The thing is when this idea was first launched one of the aims was to promote reviews in some of the quieter areas, I think motors was the first category as Ken was one of the people who had the idea if my memory serves me right so the banking category which includes all things finance could certainly do with a raised focus rather than something like internet which gets a decent number of reviews each week or books which gets loads and does not have a guide at present either.

I quite agree and would be interested to read other peoples financial reviews. I personally would just find them too hard to put together and would probably lose the reader in the first paragraph. Lisa x

Well , if it is banking, you will have your work cut out "guiding" - so as to avoid the "I was charged unfairly...reviews"


I have never written in banking myself I don't think...purely because I just couldn't make much of a review out of it TBH, my banking habits are pretty routine...money goes in, DDs go out....etc (although i did think of reviewing my new current account thingie with bells on, as I was so impressed with the way they handled my recent travel insurance claim (free cover..!)

That was good!

You obviously haven't read my comments on some of those!

Seriously though, I enjoy reading in my category and the dross doesn't bother me too much. I'm used (or was) to foreign clients getting in a twist so sorting these punters out is a piece of cake!

Ok The Feb Competition will be:


HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES


Maybe Banking next time! lol

I too think Finance is an excellent suggestion

Household appliances is a good one, although ours have been about since the day dot. Lisa x

I'm no good with appliances....reviews that is...

There's a few I can do now as I got a couple of new ones for xmas.
