    Toni, I like your choice, an unusual gadget, but I agree with ginjim: a bit expensive .

    Hi All

    A year ago, well a year and 2 days ago i thought i would take up comping. Since then I've entered 4657 competitions, would be more but i only counted competition like Real Deal or GMTV as only one although i entered up to five times. I kept a simple tally system. I've got bits of paper all over the house. I entered roughly 20-50 comps a day. At my worst, like this Saturday and Sunday, i did not enter any comps. At my best i managed 100 a day. I would of liked to have entered more but my computer is so slow, even though i upgraded the RAM. I was hoping to win a nice laptop. :rotfl: But no luck so far. But i did manage to win -

    A DAB radio, Tefal Iron, Remmington Hairdryer, Ipod Nano :D, 10 iTunes downloads, £10 7digital downloads, Football, Mamma Mia Goody Bag (just turned up nice suprise) Grolsch Glass, Peroni Bottle Opener, Laptop Bag (never received :mad:), SkullCandy Headphones, Helicopter Alarm Clock, Month's supply of Activia yoghurts and a Coast diary. I think i've listed all them.

    Not bad C+ could of done better.:rotfl: However, the last 5 months have been the worst. Since the end of September beginning of October i've only won the yoghurts, diary and the Alarm Clock. I know what some of you will be thinking at least i won something and i should not take it too seriously. But when you see what some on here have won i must admit i'm green with envy. Although it does spur me on when i get a little when i think about stoping.

    What would i like to win in the coming year? Well No.1 would have to be cash, perhaps from Real Deal win or GMTV would be nice. A holiday and of course a HDTV 32-42in or a laptop. Well I'm off to check my emails :laugh: and enter a few more comps.

    they do a fair few decent experience days on there IIRC.. perhaps there's something there you could tie into the wedding?
    Best wins since June 08: 2xNikonD60, 2xBrothers Cider, £330 SwanJackpot, £100 Garden Vs, £50 Espirit V, £750 BigSnap2, Wiifit, zoo tix, 7xCadburys, 5xGlamour, IOWTix, Dell Laptop, 3xIpodNano, £100 Highstreet Vs, Digi VideoCamera and more small bits, REAL DEAL £2400! :jRIP Dad 1943-2009

    "A year ago, well a year and 2 days ago i thought i would take up comping. Since then I've entered 4657 competitions"

    By my reckoning you average 13 comps a day. So your return is very good.:o
