    4 x Sonisphere Tickets which I gave to my 2 sons who each took a friend.They all had a great time (one of the friends has hardly stopped talking about it).

    A Halo Leather Sofa

    An Avon Tyres watch (saved as part of DS2 Xmas presents - I know he will love it).

    NINE world premiere including travel, limo and 5* hotel.

    Thanks to all who post comps as my family have had some wonderful treats both large and small thanks to you all.
    Be Lucky Everyone
  • Mine were actually both text competitions surprisingly!

    A 40 inch full HD sony bravia tv worth over 1k (which I gave to my dad as his tv looked like it was from the 80's). This also shut my dad up as he thought so many people enter comps I would never get a big win! :rolleyes:

    A Jimmy Choo voucher for £350! which enabled me to buy shoes for £355 so my OH paid the additional fiver bless him! I still have not worn them out anywhere! don't think I have any clothes which go! :rotfl:

    These were just random texts that I sent on the offchance after seeing advertising for the comps etc, one of which when I was out shopping! both texts cost me about 10p each I think!

    Happy Christmas everyone and hope the comping fairy sprinkles lots of magic dust over everyone for 2010!

  • Thanks for starting this thread NoNameWoman, I think it's a brilliant idea. I've not really been comping much this month, the sheer volume of comps has been a bit daunting! That said, I've had some amazing wins this year so I'd like to thank every single poster on here for contributing to such a fab community :D

    My top five wins this year would have to be the following:

    Isle of Wight Festival Tickets - massive thanks to ellasmommy
    This was definitely my best win ever, I got the WTC on my birthday and I'd been trying soooo hard to win tickets! I had an absolutely awesome time and got to see Pixies live which made my year!
    Wii & Wii Fit - thanks nursey71
    This helped me raise a bit of cash for my hol to Oz last month
    Flip video camera - thanks juliepink26
    Got some great videos with this while I was on holiday
    Wallis Handbag - thanks weeowen67
    This is really nice bag and I haven't stopped using it since I won it!
    A box of 16 cupcakes - a Scramble win so thanks to the people in the Inn who first drew my attention to Scramble
    These cakes were lush! If only I could have them delivered to work every Friday afternoon!

    2009 has been a great year for me, I hope 2010 will be just as good. Merry Christmas all, I hope the comping fairy brings us some good luck next year :D
