    12 wins a year? That's quite tricky, but definitly not out of reach. I havn't been doing them all year, but I've won quite a bit so far. By the way, I only enter compos for games and gadgets, because although I'd like to sell a holiday on ebay or something, there are lots of people out there who'd love to win more than me, so I leave those to them!

    January - Dragon Quest Strategy Guide (Kept)
    February - Field Commander PSP Game (Sold for £22)
    March - Total Wars Eras PC Box Set (Sold for £28)
    April - Kameo Soundtrack, T-Shirt, My design in the game and some Microsoft points (Kept)

    I'd love another holiday win. I probably enter those more than any other sort. I've won three in the last few years - the first two I gave to my Mum (weekends in Vienna and France - aren't I lovely?) and the New Zealand one this year I took my daughter, Dad and stepmother. Best holiday ever (mainly because it was fee, haha)! No hols for us next year unless I won one though...
