Is this cheeky fuckery?

I've name changed, she's on here Grin

There's a baby/toddler of the year competition and the local newspaper has a token inside you use to vote for your favourite.

CF has tagged over 80 of us insisting we all buy multiple copies and fill out the tokens so her baby wins. If we don't want to buy copies ourselves we can send her a paypal payment and she will do it for us.

On a certain day there are double tokens so we have been warned that we WILL be pestered to buy several more copies each and fill them out.

Kindly though she's offered to collect filled out tokens though as she doesn't drive I have no idea who will be lumbered with that fabulous task.

No 'Hi I'm entering X into the baby/toddler of the year competition I'd love it if you voted for my baby' just told we must buy several copies each.

This is fine cheeky fuckery right?

YANBU, she sounds unhinged 😳

imnotinthemood · 02/09/2019 20:54

Yanbu !
You do realise that if she is on MN it's highly likely she'll guess it's about her .

Butchyrestingface · 02/09/2019 20:54

Tell her your sister is entering her baby in same contest and this means WAR.

It’s okay. OP has name changed.

Token lady can do her worst.

ChocolateWhisperer · 02/09/2019 20:56

I am not really bothered if she realises it's about her, this isn't the first time she's spammed loads of us with her demands!

She's tagged EIGHTY people- it'll take a while to figure out who OP is!

Soubriquet · 02/09/2019 20:58

Least she’s offering to pay?

But yes it’s a bit much

Bouffalant · 02/09/2019 20:58

Following in case token lady joins the thread.

ChocolateWhisperer · 02/09/2019 20:59

No she's not offering to pay! She wants those of us who aren't buying copies to send her a paypal payment so she can do it for us..she's even added a donate button!

Wait has she offered to pay? Or offering to buy if you transfer her the money?

couchparsnip · 02/09/2019 21:01

Batshit. Is this on facebook? Has anyone posted their thoughts on the matter?

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 02/09/2019 21:01

Xpost. That's cheeky fuckery at its worst Shock

Celticrose · 02/09/2019 21:02

I would just ignore tbh. No time for that faff. I mean how would she know if you didn't do it. Plus she wants you to spend money getting her child picked. Local newspapers are not cheap. Just no nada zilch would I do this.

Drum2018 · 02/09/2019 21:03

That would totally put me off voting for here baby. Vote for another baby!

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 02/09/2019 21:03

Bonkers.

Templetonstunafish · 02/09/2019 21:04

Haha have you told her where to go? How cute is her baby?

Cantthinkofanythingrightnow · 02/09/2019 21:05

What's the competition for? Will she win money at the end or just be told well done?

Gillian1980 · 02/09/2019 21:05

Yanbu.

We had a baby of the year launch today.... my dc is entered.

Have put up a single post telling people dc is entered if they’re interested. No tagging, no requests etc etc. I even felt a bit self conscious making such a low key post!

MyNewBearTotoro · 02/09/2019 21:05

This is completely bonnets!

MyNewBearTotoro · 02/09/2019 21:06

Bonkers*

ChocolateWhisperer · 02/09/2019 21:06

I have no intentions of buying, voting or donating! Whilst her baby is lovely I'm voting for a family members baby. Her donation pages are epic as are her competition tags. Insane. So far her mum has commented and only 8 people liked her post. I suspect the majority are also thinking how much of a cheeky bugger she is!

Absolute CFery!

What is the prize for the winning baby ? (nosy)

littlegrulalaa · 02/09/2019 21:07

What the fuck is a baby or toddler of the year?

Sounds utterly mad and creepy as fuck.

JuniperSling · 02/09/2019 21:07

Are you in Swansea?

Gitfeatures · 02/09/2019 21:09

Not cheeky, just mental.
