in I won! I won! I won!
I always enter every week without much expectation of a win but just before Christmas I got the magic phone call to say I had won.:j:j

So thank you very much to Cornishpasty1 for posting the comp and to everyone on the board for tirelessly posting the thousands of comps all through 2010. :T:T

I have just realized the comp closed on my birthday - so what an amazing present.:eek:

A really nice selection of gifts - most of which made lovely extra Christmas presents for my family. The "star prize" is a £900 Cooper T200 (gents) or T250 (ladies) bicycle, which I have to order next week. I won a bike a couple of years ago and its gathering dust in the garage - so reluctantly the new one will have to find a new home on ebay

    I "thank" but if someone decides not to there is nothing wrong with that as MSE prefer you not to thank

    Hi all,

    While the forums have been down we’ve been working away to add a new ‘Entered’ button to the competitions forum.

    This will also help when we re-launch our new ratings in the forum – at the moment it skews the results as everyone thanks to show they’ve entered.

    I don't thank for thanking sake, I thank for the effort that that particular poster has made in either posting the competition or providing/confirming the answer, I think it is common courtesy to thank for the effort as without the competitions being posted everyone would win zilch
