    Independance & Sofaloafz - Even if you only get a few it suprising how much it could save you, for example if I just won what Id normally spend on my niece and nephew, that would probably cost me about £200. Which is enough money for all the food over xmas (I don't drink!). I'm also saving my Sainsburys nectar points up since Jan for my Xmas shop as I do my weekly shop here and buy petrol and have approx £50 saved up already. Think Ill enjoy xmas even more this year! x

    Good Luck Peeps x x x

    Wow! All those prizes in one week? I probably enter about 50 per day about three times a week? But starting to have a few small wins trickle through! Imagine if you won that many every week! You must have felt very blessed last week!

    What did you get in the Garnier? x x

    Love the idea - but my problem is I don't win anything!

    I obviously don't enter enough competitions and limited budget means txt and phone comps are out for me.

    Good luck with the list though
