    My best win of 2009 was a pair of Dancing on Ice VIP tickets.

    This wasn't my biggest or best win based upon monetary value, but was the best win based upon timing and how much I really wanted to win these....

    My DD is ice skating obsessed and adores Dancing on Ice, and wanted to see the tour, but things were tight financially, and I really couldn't afford to buy tickets, and I felt really bad about it. :o

    Anyway... The comping fairy must have taken pity on me, because a pair of tickets from a comp win turned up in the post about two days before the date of the concert. :T

    My DD and I had an amazing night, and she absolutely loved every minute of it. Oh and we got to meet Ray Quinn, Chris Fountain, and Fiz from Corrie (who was sat near us), which also added to her HUGE smile.
    LOL :rotfl:

    Thank you to all posters and contributors. You make this such a lovely place to be. XXX

    I was very lucky indeed last year, but my favourite wins were a holiday to Canada which we would never have been able to afford normally, and VIP tickets to the rugby which was just brilliant seeing 'how the other half live'.

    I also really loved the Strongbow comp, it's so much fun and can't wait for a similar comp this year.

    Thanks to all who post comps and I wish us all very good luck for this year.
