I've won my first postal comp!

About 3 weeks ago I found the postal comps section of the forum and my comping addiction suddenly worsened ;) That day I went out and spent (don't tell my fiance :D ) £40 on 2nd class stamps and entered everything including a Win Transformers Battle Pack & DVD products comp - today TNT turned up with the prize!! Was lovely for my son to have his first prize come, even if he is only 6 months old :D - I said he was 5 :D

Many, many thanks to princess pixiedust, who posts so many comps in the postal comps thread :A xxx

    Congrats!! Postal comps are addictive! I only venture in there once a week, but trouble is I then copy everything I want to enter into a word doc and print it out to write envelopes! Have to try to curb it!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T
