    Wow, some amazing wins on here! Well done everyone! I hope those waiting to take trips really enjoy themselves and good luck to cheznal, hope baby arrives happy and healthy :)

    I have two best prizes. My first is my first ever win which was a HUGE box full of Fireman Sam toys. The look on my little cousin's face was priceless and it really spurred me on to carry on comping.

    My second is definitely the two tickets I won for the Isle of Wight festival. I'd tried every comp I could find to win tickets cos I really wanted to see the Pixies and I managed it! And it was my birthday the day I got the WTC!

    Now I really, really want to win tickets to Reading festival. I'm already going but I want to win tickets for my friend to come too! Two festival wins in a couple of months is probably a bit too optimistic but hey ho, I did it once!

    Mine was a 5* two night trip to an exclusive spa in Tuscany, the kind of guests who were there had Ferrari's parked outside and there was me in my Primark top! They even gave ladies a stool to put their handbag on next to the dinner table :rotfl::rotfl: It was a beautiful place - somewhere I could have never even imagined affording - a perfect win!

    I think I'm gonna have to choose the £2,000 worth of John Lewis vouchers I won on Big Snap 2 around January. Since moving here we haven't had a cooker (our previous house was electric and this is gas), so we've been relying on microwaved food! Then I won those vouchers, and not only were we able to get a really good cooker, but also an eBook reader, a Samsung LCD TV, an iPod touch and some Waitrose shopping to test out that new cooker!

    I have to say, I only started entering competitions last October, so I've been doing it just under a year, and already I've won things I couldn't have even dreamed out before. It is a bit depressing during dry periods, but wow, the high you get when you get a phone call, email or letter with that famous word; "Congratulations". It's a fantastic feeling.

    Well it should be the days fishing with Matt Hayes that I won from the News Of The World comp which is apparently valued at around £2000, but I haven't been yet so it would have to be the Sonisphere tickets and Nokia 5800.

  • I've only had a handful of wins so far as I've just been doing comps since June, but my best* has been a prize from Clyde 1 - a laptop and a course up to the value of £1000. We both have laptops and chuckled about how good it would be if it was actually a dinky little netbook - and when it arrived, it was!


    *or was it the box of crisps I won a few weeks later...? hm...
  • I would have to say the £10,000 I won from Pepsi a couple of months ago although winning my laptop meant I was able to enter far more comps and therefore has probably been my most profitable win.

    Biggest win: £10,000 from Pepsi

  • Kitchen makeover upto the value of £25,000:j Granite worktops, real oak cupboards, appliances, the lot. That's why I'm not complaining about not winning a nokia 5800:D:D
