Well, I'm gobsmacked. I was having a really boring time at work a couple of months ago, nothing to do, so I did a bit of comping to pass the time for 3 or 4 days - back to blindingly busy after that.
Lo and behold, I got an email from Adobe informing me that I'd won £1000 worth of House of Fraser vouchers. I didn't believe it at first, was convinced it was a scam or something but the more I checked it out, the more it all fell into place. My girlfriend almost fell over when I told her what the amount was!

So, a massive, massive thankyou to "always comping".
I still feel a bit guilty about it in a way, knowing how much time people put into this and somehow I've come away with a fairly big prize after so little effort!
It's great though - will pay for everything I need to get set up for university, plus a little bit spare to treat myself with... I still can't believe it! It's several weeks wages for me, just a phenomenal amount of money!
Thank you as well to everybody else who put competitions up during that week, you're all so generous with your time and effort and you've certainly made me a very happy MSE'er
