I'm hoping this post will inspire some of you...this is how I got into comping...now if this post makes you jealous then you are not a true comper, you just want to win everything yourself and not be pleased for other peeps...a true comper shares their advice and is happy for others...here it is then peeps...
About 9 years ago I went to hear a woman give a talk about competitions...my jaw dropped after listening to her for 10 minutes and my chin was on my chest for the rest of the evening..opened mouth gawping ....she told how she had won 11 ( yes 11) round the world cruises and won just about every piece of kitchen equipment known to man plus a new kitchen to put them in, she had bikes, luggage, etc..etc..she said what I said at the beginning of my post...enjoy comping and be happy when other people win and try and encourage others to enter...karma...what goes round comes round....she was my age , ie what I am now...and I thought if she can do that at her age , then why can't I?My first wins were small, books Cd's and I was thrilled with them, then I joined a radio comp group and won amazing prizes..lost count of the number of holidays, around 15 I think...quite a lot worth £5000,including cash spends.I won a lot of cash too during the good old days of TV Quizzes, I joined a forum and won loads and loads..I won £7000 cash in 1 year alone...all the time I was doing the odd radio comp, these were free to enter then, winning a fair amount of cash on these too...I kept up my internet comping and entered every comp I could for books...my first love and fave prize...but then other wins started to come in...I have always used my real name and age and a proper internet address, a specific comping email addy but with my ISP, not a Hotmail or Gmail one...I used to keep a folder of my wins , but it got too big and I worked out a couple or years ago they totalled over £55,000...now they must be around £60,000...won around £1000 worth of stuff since just before Xmas....I do Daily Comps here on MSE....not all of them , just the ones I would like to win, takes me around 30 mins a day...some I've done everyday and never won on, some I have entered just once and won...sods law !!!I check out the comps on UK HotDeals when I can and do a couple of pages of those, about another 30 minutes...Roboform is the best thing since sliced bread, I only have the free version....I only enter for things I would like to win for myself or things to give as presents...if the prize is def male orientated then I use hubbies email addy.....I do get spam but only to my comping email addy , so I do have to scan them carefully for the magic word..CONGRATULATIONS...in the subject part of the email....I try and do some of the comps here on MSE don't find it as quick as UK Hotdeals, they seem to be easier to follow for me and I can quickly find the posts for the TV comps on there...ie Dickinsons Real Deal/Daybreak/this Morning etc.......by the way after my first major win, my daughter listened to me for a change and won a car ....I have not won a car yet!!!I did win a holiday for her and her hubby and my grandchildren , 2 weeks in the Bahamas...I won a £500 Xmas Hamper in that comp and the holiday for her...that Xmas I won 5 hampers !!! Honest!!...you must enjoy comping, do not emabark on it if you are mean spirited.... go for it peeps....good luck vibes for those that take up the gauntlet....looking forward to seeing some posts re your wins very soon....

Hi,All I am new to this site ,but I have enjoyed reading posts for the last few weeks .Reading bullshots posts I hope to take up comping .Also enjoy reading about your wins on the velvet trees, and the problems with trout's at Mr Ts. I also purchased the princes paste on offer 3 for a pound,only purchased 6 one lot discounted one full price ,SC said my fault purchased one not on offer .She when proceeded to check each one,combinations of 3 10 minutes later received dtd back .You would think it is there own money,anyway good luck to you all.keep up the good work .

Thanks Bully. I'd never really met anyone who had won much from comping till I started talking to you guys. It really has opened my eyes! I must try Roboform to speed up entering these comps - the more you enter the more you win!

For anyone who had the 30p Mini Magnum moc from the Radio Times a couple of weeks ago they are on offer in Morrisons for £1.69 plus there's a leaflet near them for a comp but haven't read it yet .
