    Biggest win was flights for my family ( SIX of us in total!!) to Canada to see family. Was the biggest value win as well as the most meaningful, there's not a chance we could have ever afforded to go! God bless comping.

    Last year i won a 5* holiday to Malta, £1000 with take a break, and countless smaller prizes. This year my biggest win is a holiday to Antigua worth £5000! Most of the weekends away i go on,or days out are competition wins, and i usually have most of my xmas pressies before xmas as i save most of my wins for them. I suppose the trick is, to not give up. No matter how much of a dry spell your having, the next competition you enter could be a winner!

    My biggest was £1500 in 2007 from real people magazine at the time i was working part time and meant me and my friend could book a holiday to egypt something i could never afford otherwise.

    Last year i had another big win £1000 from take a break i cried when i got the letter my best friend had just returned from a tour in Afghan in the Army we said that when she came home we would get a trip away for a weekend just book a easy jet flight and have a good time partying. Before that win came i had enough for the flight but was panicking over spends i just simply could not afford it. I was dreading telling her we would have to do something a bit more low key and local. And then i came home from work to that letter. I cried and was literally over the moon (it felt like fate) we booked a long weekend in Amsterdam and had a ball. I paid my car tax for the year and gave some to my mum dad sister and nan. So they could get a little treat on me

    I love comping and although i havent won much this year 20 pound and a free mascara i love reading about everyones wins. I appreciate every win because the small wins and the big wins can change people lives and make dreams come true even just a small one. I love winning little things i can give to family or add to birthday presents or even just as a small treat for myself.

    Thanks to everyone who takes the time and effort to post the comps
    happy comping to all.xxx

    Mine was a shopping trip last year with a night in a posh hotel. I got given £700, which I split with my friend (at the time she had just lost her job & ended a long term relationship, so she needed cheering up!) and £100 for travel & eating - we blew £30 of that on seeing Harry Potter in the Leceister Square at midnight. It was great & exhausting day out! Loved every second of it :)
