We need a favour - please could you please vote for us? (updated)

[karlyau]

(My wife and children have asked that I repost a similar message to yesterday's on here. Apologies if this is not the right thing to do)

My family are in the final six ofthe vosene families competition - in which the prize is fantastic holiday. We are currently living in a caravan, and due to overrunning planning issues on our renovation, we will be here all winter.
My teenage son has been ill for 2 years. We really need this holiday. We had a fantastic response yesterday - primarily from this community. But today we have again fallen behind. Therefore could we ask please, if you havent already voted, that you consider doing so?

Voting takes only 20 seconds, and they promise you will receive no Spam email.

(Your wives/husbands/partners/children/friends can also vote .. although the rules do ask that you do not vote on behalf of other people - I am truly sorry if I misled people on this aspect previously)
Many thanks for taking the time to read.

is this not cheating????????????

[mrsmaveric]

sorry i dont mean to sound horrible...how are other people getting their votes???

[Mamyalynne]

In a very similar way I believe MrsM.

[karlyau]

Hi Mrsmaveric, no it's definitely not cheating, we are supposed to be asking as many people as possible to vote for us.
(I did unintentionally suggest peviously that you could vote on behalf of other people .. but that was not supposed to suggest you could do so without their knowledge).
but other than that, we are supposed to be encouraging people to vote for us. And if you decided to do so, we would be really grateful.

>> sorry i dont mean to sound horrible...how are other people getting their votes??? <<

[mrsmaveric]

[cazzz1975]

the other family are quite the ninja's in getting votes..

[karlyau]

Thankyou Mrsmaveric, we really appreciate it

[karlyau]

Actually Cazzz, they are being a bit ungracious in posts about my wife, which is a bit irritating. they started following her on facebook and twitter and being a bit rude, ridiculing her (us). But obviously they are doing something right on the vote fron.

[looobylooo]

hi karlyau,
ive put in quite a few votes for you, here n there,
and still have fingers crossed for you and your family to win this fabulous £10,000 holiday.

how many children have you got, and where is the holiday?

[cazzz1975]

you need to get the word out on lots and lots of other sites, thats probably what they are doing, any busy forum like ivillage, digitalspy and other popular places

[bobthefisherman]

they're still coming in from here....
I'll try to keep it going all week

[karlyau]

Thanks Loobyloo, we have three children, 2 boys (4 and 13), and a little girl, 9.
the holiday is a choice of three - Disneyland, an safari in Kenya, or an all-inclusive holiday in Greece. (My choice is the Safari, but Disneyland is winning that one by 4 votes to 1)

[cazzz1975]

I would choose disneyland as well, a safari is nice but a kenyan safari is not the safest thing to do at the moment

[looobylooo]

yeah disneyland will be great for the kids! :o)

i wonder if anyone on here can put something up on their facebook page too, and then their friends could pass it on aswell?

[mickrog]

6 more for you from my friends

[sir.prize]

Two friends have put the link on Facebook. I understand so far this has brought 30 votes. The more the merrier. Good luck to the Yau Family.

[sherrardk]

I've put it on my FB page too.
