That sounds like such fun! I'd love to do that, I'd be like you running around like a maniac putting as much as I could into the trolleys. Reminds me a lot of Supermarket Sweep thinking about it!BrokeBrunette wrote:I won a 2 minute trolley dash about 6 years ago, which was really good fun.
My sister won the ultimate trolley dash about 8 years ago. It was a 4 minute trolley dash for 4 people (won in Take a Break magazine).0 -

I have won lots of things but mainly in competitions at work (I am in sales) I had a particularly good year in 1998, £5k holiday, weekend at the Grand Prix in Germany, weekend in New York ( Limo xfers and a helicopter trip etc). I also had a £1000 camera, TVs and other electrical stuff and loads of vouchers.
Outside of work I won a "top of the pops" album on the Radio 1 roadshow in 1974 and tickets to see Eric Clapton this year from Radio 2. I have also won a couple of CDs and DVDs on the local radio station in the last couple of years.0 -
I did every puzzle in Take a Break for a year and never won a thing. I don't think they are a swizz but I think they get thousands and thousands of people entering them so the chances of you winning anything are slim.AnnieH wrote:I've never known anyone to win anything from these sits and magazines offering huge prizes.

I've been doing competitions for quite a few years and the prizes really are out there, I've won about 9 holidays by just sending in postcards or collecting tokens and last year won £5,000 in a slogan comp - the prizes really do exist!0
