    Hi everyone,

    I've been doing the balls again too :eek: Think early morning is the best time unless you want to stay up all night which I don't. Won another football anyway so that will please one of my nephews. DS3 says balls are good. We have only received one so far. Another 3 vouchers arrived today though. Looking forward to treating the kids and maybe DH & myself too.
    Have you tried the Handbag grab Lily? I was lucky on it and got the pizza express voucher on my FB, i-tunes voucher on DHs and the make up on the kids ones. Only have FB for comps - kids use theirs.
    Have a good day,

    We're ball mad in here sheils! ;):rotfl:

    Ooo yes I have played that and the postman just brought the prizes! There was so much post he had to put it through the letterbox in two goes! :j:j:j

    I got a lip and cheek stain (from my FB) and we won a Pizza Express gift card on DH's! There's a card for free dough balls in there too! :T:T:T

    When I heard that post hit the mat you've never seen me move so fast! 'Ooo' I said when the first lot dropped on the mat and 'Ooo-oooooo!' when the second lot landed! :o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I also got a shampoo freebie (I'm sure I've already had it once before :o) and a letter from Music Magpie with freepost labels to use to send off the DVDs we're selling to them (£18 worth :D).

    Well, that has cheered me up no end! :j I think it's time for another cuppa! :D
  • Good morning all
    (((HUGS))) to all who need them,

    I had a brill day yesterday, A win arrived I had been waiting for and an unexpected prize turned up as well.
    My DH was particularly made up with this one, it was 2 model kits for some spaceships from a computer game, (You wouldn't believe he was in his 30's would you!):rotfl:

    I am picking up a mystery parcel from the post office later, so fingers crossed that's something good too.

    Have a lucky day

  • Got a citylink card yesterday saying they will redirect today, got dentist again later so a neighbour is going to watch for van if it doesn't come soon. I can't think of anything I've ordered that it could be so am hoping it's something nice. Anyone else have citylink delivery yesterday?
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please
  • Molly - well done on your wins! :T Let us know what the mystery parcel is! :D

    Hi molly,
    I was just thinking I hadn't seen Tulip lately but she does seem to keep busy.


    You seem to be enjoying yourself Lily. We got the Head & Shoulders this morning too. I did a survey on their conditioner a while back and it was really good.

  • Hi All,

    I have been comping since the end of October last year and had 2 wins - pair of Michael Bolton tickets and a pair of Pat Butcher earrings! I am intrigued to know what the biggest prize is you have had that has just been delivered unexpectedly???

    It lets me live in hope when I check my email and there's nothing if you know what I mean!

    Hi, Lesley,

    Welcome! I've only been comping for just over a year but have had three largish wins. One was a holiday for 2 to Ibiza and they phoned to tell me about that - thought it was timeshare and nearly put the phone down! (They gave me £1,000 instead of holiday) Second was camping tickets to T-in the Park (worth £360), just got an email asking for my address. The third was a video camera and 30,000pts with Priority Club. They just stuck the points in my account and posted the camera with a slip in saying where it was from!

  • Hey Sheils,

    I was just wondering - you seem to have won lots from the barclays comp. I thought you could only win one thing a month on there?
    Redundancy isn't fun - comping is!

    That only applies to the tickets Becki.
