    Part of the Furniture Photogenic Combo Breaker I won, I won, I won!
    I used to hate instant win comps.. i as all i ever got was sorry messages then I won a holiday from one.. and my attitude changed. I'm not keen on things just turning up.. had a bit of worry when i knew a delivery was turning up from electrolux but i had no idea what i had won. I had just had new kitchen flooring and was worried it was a fridge... turned out it was a hoover. Had a vibrator turn up unexpected.... i opened that with company there. That was embarrassing..

    I have been comping for over 2 years and i've only ever won one thing. I have entered thousands and thousands of comps and only ever won once. When I see how many things some others win it makes me think I might be one of the must unlucky people here :(

    My best was today, a £200 spa voucher from take a break.... I had a friend round who I haven't seen for months, catching up before xmas etc... My postie turn up and was waving to her... he had something for me to sign for which was a filofax I won last week (lovely by the way) I got my mail and was excited to open the parcel more than the letters but when i opened the rest of my mail i was totally shocked to see that i had won such a fab prize! I am buzzing and have shown the letter to everyone hahaha such a great feeling xx

    What difference does an email address make?
