    I won a Toyota Prius in May, sold it and paid of £5000 of debt, bought a new television, camera, mountain bikes x2 and banked the rest.
    I have worked in insurance and am happy to help anyone who needs help in the murky world of insurance

    hellenjc - what was FXSTI's fantastic win? :confused:

    I've only ever won £50 and I put it towards my holiday. When I win the £5,000 I shall take another holiday :D

    With the money we got from selling the car (comp from May 07) we managed to knock some more debt off a card, new carpet and wood floor downstairs, and a few other bits (new shed!). Always comes in handy at the right time.
    Won the Mr&Mrs £5K comp (last one shown) a month or so ago, unfortunately we couldn't blow it but it did come at a crucial time, moneywise, and it went on paying a credit card off. Only a few more to go - so ITV here I am come and get me!!

    Don't know what I did before becoming a serial comper! I'm addicted it's sad! Even taking OH's work lappie on holiday next week so I can keep up! (gotta have something to do in the evenings, tv is soooo bad!).
    A big thanks to everyone who finds one and posts, how everyone shares comps and answers is lovely. I do try and even find a few that haven't been posted!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    I won £50 from an online survey and probably spent it on clothes.

    My next cash win would go on some new GHDS :D

    I can never be bothered to enter the GMTV 1s though so i'm not gonna be winning those anytime soon until i sort myself out and enter lol!
