I started comping in June and have had some great wins - I have won tickets to something every month and I love the randomness of these wins so I think these are my favorite things I have won this year. These are some of my favorites
3 different Movie Premieres in the West End (the best being Ingloroius Basterds
Sport - Rugby double header at Twickenham, Spurs v Wigan (9-1), Ringside Boxing Tickets (sat behind Joe Calzage and 3 from Strictly!)
Prescilla Queen of the Desert tickets again in the West End
Music - Beverly Knight and Uriah Heep(awsome night out)
and lots of family days out including Legoland and Pantomime tickets.
Also won a really nice Digital Camera and a Great Taste Hamper which I'm hoping will be great as I'm still waiting.
Anyway probably listed way too many but they've all been great and a big thank you goes out to all the wonderful people who post and I wish all my fellow compers a great Christmas and winning new year!

Oh god, I've had tonnes. We won a Lenovo laptop worth 1k in Jan, a holiday to Mauritius worth 6k a couple of months ago (not taken yet mind) and an adventure holiday to Morocco in Feb (whilst "only" being worth 1400 for both of us - we took it in Oct) which was the most incredible experience of our lives! Loads more too, including an ipod touch and a Sizzix machine/bag/accessories - as per the sig (about another 4ks worth in fact), but these were the biggest/best!
Thank you so much to all posters

I've cut back on what i've been entering and really only going for stuff I want to win so I'm extremely grateful for everything I've received - especially little bits for my nephew who was born late December last year

Best wins for me though would have to be £300 Laura Ashley sideboard. Wasn't expecting to like the distressed look but I absolutely love it and it's filled with my library of books
Won my mum £100 from one of the magazines so I was happy to see her smile and go round telling everyone 
Hoping there will still be some great wins coming up for everyone and hope we all have a fantastic 2010
Thank you so much to all of those posting comps/answers! TWBM in 2010 (#200): DSLR Camera, DS, £1K+ cash
