    My best win was my all-inclusive holiday to Antigua this year. I've been unemployed and would never have been able to afford it. It was brilliant and all from a simple competition!
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.

    I have won some really amazing things, my best probably being flights to Chicago - its a place I wouldn't have dreamed of visiting if I was just booking a city break, however, we had such an amazing time and will definitely go back!

    Most recently, my 12 months free Sky World HD subscription - we already have Sky and pay over £60 a month for it. We are on a mad saving spree to dig ourselves out of a negative equity hole (desperate to move house), behind our mortgage and council tax, Sky is our biggest outgoing and was in danger of being cut, so to keep a little luxury in these testing times is nice :)

    I have had the most amazing run of luck recently, bearing in mind I am a comping fanatic...
    In the last couple of months I have won a Watt excersize bike £1,800, Dickinsons real deal £5,000, Quinny Zapp extra from Toys R Us.... £225 lots of toy story toys, 4 dinasaur transformer eggs , £90 M&S vouchers.... and a book from the USA....

    The one that got away was a pair of trainers ffrom the Rio Ferdinand site they told me back in June I had won and i've contacted them several time and they just keep saying they are looking into it - still nothing .... shame

    my best win, i took in april with my mum and my daughter, i won travel to and from london, a night in the ritz for 4 (2rooms), breakfast, a manicure for 4 at the ritz and afternoon tea for 4 at the ritz. i paid for another night at a premiere inn and we had 3 days/2nights in london was fantastic i shall remember it forever. i know it was for 4 but i wanted it to be special for us three so i selfishly didnt fill the 4th place :)
