How are you gonna get the entries from the newspapers neil if pressreader doesn't have access to Murdoch Limited papers anymore? :p
My library stocks the Herald Sun. Hamza is in SA. NT & QLD might need to sign up for a trial. Are their online subs the same as Press Reader?
Not sure mate. I think the online scribs is just paywalled articles and so forth.
Last resort a largeish newsagency which may stock interstate papers or $39 tiger flights? :p

Not a fan of bombarding newspapers with shitty messages that aren't funny or clever.

Happy V day. I love you more than the newspaper that this message is in ;)In QLD courier mail.
I'm too late to enter, too share how I feel
Community connection, a trust so so real
Ozbargain you make life much more than a dealMy entry is in the Adelaide paper :)
Neil want any snaps of the paper pages?I decided to bite the bullet and pay 3 x $1 28 Day subscriptions to the newspapers. That was the easy part. Reading through the love messages is a task I'd wouldn't give to my worst enemy.
Anyway, I'll update the entries throughout the day.
Reading through love messages is the best part of my day! I ended up placing over 10 messages to various people because they were free. From what I've read today, I'm sure a few other people took advantage of it too! & they are mostly all so cute and funny!
Could someone please be kind enough to scan the Valentines Day's messages in today's Herald Sun? Part of me would love my missus to see the message I wrote for her but I really can't be bothered going all the way to the shops and spending a couple of bucks on the newspaper =(
I can take a photo of the message if you like?! What is the name under? :)
OK, apparently when you sign up for 1 newspaper for $1 for 28 days you get access to all of the News Corp Australia papers. That's a plus if you are into reading all of the newspapers around Australia.
I think I've found all the entries. There are however 6 entries not linked to anyone. If I've missed any please let me know.
nice 1! :) I'm gonna try and find the sunday mail tomorrow :)
In case you missed it in the Herald Sun, my OzBargain one starts with "(WC) Confessing my love…".
Yeah I caught that.
Didn't think they'd publish mine š
OZB YOU'RE THE REAL DEAL. -
Let's get hitched. Love always,
your Professional kitschCongrats ash.
Thought i was onto a blue ribbon winner~ :(
Thanks Neil and the mods :)
Thanks neil/mods and congrats to ashnalex09.
Congrats to me and all the other winners ;-)
Can't wait to embarrass my wife with the prize
Oh wow thanks so much :)
T-shirts + bags were sent out this morning (by Scott). You should all receive them soon.
Thanks guys! just got the shirt and bag ~ my wife was like "you're an idiot"
I think I may have married the same woman - received mine just now and her response was the same
I've entered, let's see if it gets published: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/3434750/redir
