in I won! I won! I won!
Have you ever really tried for a competition and didn't win? I was trying for the iphone on the GMTV unlimited entry section. I was putting in 100+ entries a day, but no WEM for me *sigh*.

Anyone else got ones that got away stories? I really needed that phone!! :rotfl:

    Not on your level I know, but I have tried everyday for about 3 years to win those batteries. There is usually around 550 -600 entries a day, so I should have won by now!
    August wins: BBQ, Solar Garden Lights, Seeds

    Dorset Cereals drives me nutty. Managed to win the Gu chocs a while ago, but Dorset Cereals still eludes me - and it isn't as though it's even a huge prize, and I don't really like museli type cereals - so why am I obsessed with this comp? :rotfl:
