  • Hi all :hello:

    Only started comping in May and my best wins have been

    iPod Nano (from Strongbow comp)
    3 x Nokia 5800 (from Pepsi comp)
    £1000 (from Bonkers)
    Guitar Hero (from Doritos)

    All my major wins have been from 'purchase necessary' comps but I am not complaining!

    Best 'no purchase' win was a £100 M&S gift card which I won at the beginning of September and have been chasing ever since! Had an email on Xmas Eve to say that it is in the post now though, so here's hoping :D

    Huge thanks again to all members of the comping forum who help and share. You're a fab bunch :A

    My best win was a 42" LCD TV from the Heinekin competition - wanting a tv was the reason I took up comping, as ours was so old there was no point in getting a games console (even if we could).
    At the same time I also won a £100 zavvi voucher - so after I won the telly I put that towards an XBOX 360.
    Both arrived in time for my son's birthday - and you should have seen his face, priceless!
    I don't watch much TV myself, but it's been brilliant for the rest of the family, and lovely over Christmas :)

    Thanks all posters, and good luck for 2010 :)

    I love reading what everyone has won it somehow spurs me on to keep comping when I go through a dry spell. I've only won lots of little things this year but I've loved getting every single one of them. I must admite I'm guilty of not coming back on here to properly thank all the posters so I'll do it now A MEGA BIG THANKS TO ALL you do an amazing job and have certainly brightened up my year thanks again :T:T:T

    Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all may 2010 bring you lots of lovely wins.
  • I only started comping in September with Bonkers and managed to win about £1500. I enjoyed this promotion so much I immediately became hooked and now can't wait for a similar comp. I would like to thank all the sharers that made this such a fantastic new hobby for me.
    Since then my other favourite wins are:
    XBOX 360 Guitar Hero Bundle (Doritos)
    Ipod (Powerade)
    £180 Mans Watch (Watchesshop)
    Lots of bits and bobs also very gratefully received.

    My thanks go to all posters - you really are stars!
    Best Wishes for a very Happy New Year to all with lots of lovely wins!
    Love and Luck!
