    Very last thing I won was a phone-in comp on the local radio station - 2 tickets to a play at our local theatre, which a friend and I went to this evening. Excellent production, with Niamh Cusack and the woman who was Duckface in Four Weddings. Fab time - freebie night out wiv sum kulcher frown in :D

    This radio station has been v. good to me. In the past few months I've also won in different comps a Christmas tree, £170 and a board game.
  • I won the mystery voice on our local station in September and got a smashing £297
    for my trouble. It had been going on for 5 months and had driven me crazy.
    Reckon I must have spent more than the winnings on phone calls :)
    Used it to buy my kids main xmas gifts that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to get.
  • I've just won a Kodak easy share camera and Printer Dock in an advent calendar comp on livingtv.co.uk :)

    I won some sunglasses from New Woman Magazine - entered by emailing them. Don't suit me so will sell on ebay soon. Also, a large parcel arrived for my 10 year old last month with 'Girl Crush' toys -nearly £100 worth (3 were the same). She kept one but the rest are a bit babyish so will sell on ebay and buy her something else. Used to enter lots more competitions year's ago and have won a fridge freezer which was worth around £400 from a Homes magazine for completing a survey, also £100 vouchers, a year's supply of maltesers, perfume, toys, muffins and makeup.

    These are mainly from postcard prize draws. Not won any from the internet apart from sending a question in to an hair site and winning some hair products.
