    Holy smoke!! Well done to you all - some totally amazing wins there! :beer: AND more importantly - THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time and effort to post the competitions, post the answers and of course to the board guides who help with the housekeeping of the boards. :T

    This is my first year of comping and I'm hoping to be as lucky as you ;). I used to be a serious couponer and Tesco points collector to help with the monthly budget. Now those are gone I need to look at other ways of (hopefully) pulling in the purse strings. I'm aiming to spend 1 hr per day entering as many comps as possible.
    Would you mind if I asked how much time you guys would normally spend on it?
    All I can say is OMG! Well done to all and here's to another good year :D.

    What a fab thread!!! Ive just finished my first full year of comping and had a brilliant one!! I find it amazing reading about others fabulous wins - it's so inspiring. If you have just started comping then keep it up - I hardly won anything in my first 3 months but had a brilliant year since Jan!!

    I've won lots of nice things this year but my 5 faves would have to be:-

    1. Handmade oak kingsize bed - won last March (my first really big win)

    2. 47" TV and blu-ray player

    3. iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS (one for OH and one for me!)

    4. Reading Festival Tkts

    5. XBox 360 + Kinect (still waiting for it to arrive from Coca-Cola!) but can't wait!!!

    Ive been to lots of fab concerts this year too which I wouldn't have been able to without entering competitions.

    Thanks to all who take the time to post - I really do appreciate it as I work full time and don't have time to post myself.

    Good luck to everyone for 2011 - Happy Comping and may the comping fairy bring you lots of lovely prizes (and me a holiday please! :) )

    Thoughts become things!
