    I haven't won that much because I worked full time last year and became a student in September so I didn't have the time, but I loved what I was lucky enough to win!

    1. I won a £500 shopping spree thanks to Kiss and Malibu, as well as buying a lot of fancy new clothes, this also paid for all the books, cookware and other essentials I needed for university. I had no idea how i'd afford them otherwise so I'll always be grateful to MSE for putting my mind at ease for that :)
    2. A flip camcorder - winning this was such a relief after drinking so many Pepsi cans ;)
    3. A River Cottage 'instant garden' kit - basically a massive box full of seeds ready to be planted. I don't have a garden so I gave it to my elderly neighbour who loves gardening, she was very pleased :D
    4. £50 HMV vouchers - this was a total surprise as I don't even remember entering the competition (apparently it was a poll asking what your favourite Michael Jackson song was!). I bought a LuckyVoice karaoke machine with it and the boyfriend and I have had a lot of fun singing since then ;)
    5. A big fancy hamper of designer hair care stuff - perfect for me as I do love to pamper myself :D

    Thanks to all posters, the amount of effort everyone puts in is astonishing and the sense of community here is just lovely. Here's to 2011! :D
    Best wins: Tefal pan set, microwave, £500 shopping vouchers, £500 Princesse Tam Tam vouchers, £100 cash
