    This is my first year of comping - stumbled across the comps board after being on MSE for a year. So in the 10 months Ive been comping my best and favourite wins have been:

    • £500 Bafta Goodie bag from Radio Times - Just turned up outta the blue!
    • Alex Monroe necklace from Marie Claire comp. Its so beautiful
    • £800 from Magnum - brought LCD tele, Digital Camera etc with it
    • Nintendo DS Lite and games- from Wingobins comp
    • O2 Zest Mobile

    ***Plus was chuffed when my Bf won the tele LCD in the Strongbow comp. It was the first comp he entered after moaning at me for entering comps. And now he has won he thinks comping it cool. :rotfl:

    I've had an amazing year, and would like to thanks all members on the MSE Comp board for their contributions and kindness. I love this place :A

    I've only been comping for a few months and it was the McVities comp that got me started. All my wins are in my signature but my best and biggest would have to be from the Doritos comp - the Xbox bundle. I really couldn't believe it when I got the WEM! My kids will be finding out about that on Christmas Day :D

    I'm fairly quiet on the forums so I'd just like to say how friendly and helpful everyone is on here and I really feel it's a lovely community to be a part of. Thanks guys :A
  • My best wins this year have been a Gold Ipod Touch and a massive hamper of sweets, which lasted all of 5 seconds..lol.

    Thanks for the thread nonamewoman :)

    I started entering some competitions before Christmas last year during the holidays to see if I could win some extra goodies. Little did I know that by the same time next year I would have become a regular 'comper' and have won about £3000 worth of stuff :eek: I still can't believe that, it's incredible.

    My biggest win was £500 cash, but my favourites have to be the 2 Sony Ericsson phones I won on my birthday (much needed!), a Panasonic Lumix camera and my gorgeous red Roberts digital radio. I really wouldn't have been able to afford any of these.

    Huge, Huge thank you to everyone on the forum, not only for posting all the comps, but for making me feel welcome! :grouphug:
    Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas, and best of luck for 2010! :xmassmile
