    Not been home yet but got my 40" 3D TV and blu-ray home cinema system that I won in a competition delivered to work :)

    Congratulations on your BIG win.

    I have just started doing Comps. again. I think I go through phrases of filling in the forms then stopping...starting again!
    Have won some lovely small things.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Well done! Hope you have hours of pleasure with that.

    I've been doing comps on and off all my adult life. I had some really decent wins in the 80s and 90s, last big win was my adult's trike that I won in 2002. That was delivered to work too and I rode it home...:D I still own it and still ride it too, though I now work from home.

    I knew the late Rita Smallburn who appeared on TV as the Competition Queen many years ago, a very smart lady. Rita had a gorgeous house not too far from me that was bought after she sold her competition win house in the Midlands - now that's a win and a half....

    Comps aren't as much fun as they used to be when I used to spend hours thinking up slogans. This type of comp isn't so common now. As a single parent back then it gave me a wonderful hobby that really enabled me to enhance my life and that of my kids. Happy days.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
