    Debt-free and Proud!
    Last year best win was £500 from Virgin Radio (that fenced part of the back garden).

    This year so far has got to be the Sky+ HD box and 1 years free subscription to Skyworld HD package.

    However like all compers the small drop through the door jiffy bags are a constant source of joy:D, and make a pleasant change from bills etc.

    My best wins are:
    A family holiday to Los Angeles - staying at the Sheraton Universal, car hire, spending money, entrance to Universal Studios, & the opportunity to make Monster latex masks with professional special effects people. We're going in October!
    VIP tickets to Wimbledon 2010 (won them yesterday!) - including all day hospitality in the Evian Suite, champagne reception, lunch and afternoon tea.

    I've been lucky enough to win lots of smaller prizes too. Each one is so exciting, and I'm forever indebted to all the wonderful people who post comps on this site. x
