    I only enter the ones on here and the ones on the UKCompetitions site. I enter very little postal competitions. I only enter postal ones if the prize is something I really want. I used to enter all postal competitions too but found I was spending more on stamps than the prizes were worth.

    I havn't really been keeping a list but off the top of my head this is what I've won in about 2 years of comping:

    Weekend at the Hilton in Amsterdam inlcuding meals and flights,
    Weekend in Cardiff including travel,
    £400 to spend at Woolworths,
    £100 to spend at Woolworths,
    Nintendo DS and game,
    Front row tickets to the The Cure :j ,
    George Michael tickets,
    Various DVDs and CDs,
    5 wristbands to Southend funfair,
    Sweatshirt,
    Dance mat,
    T Shirt,
    tickets to Ideal Home exhibition,
    Horseriding video,
    Hair care kit,
    Signed Darkness CD,
    Portrait of my kids,
    Portrait of my dog,
    Spongebob swimming bag,
    West Ham DVD,

    Can't think of any others. My bf has been comping much longer than me and has won loads of prizes.

    You are one lucky person :eek:

    Wow, this is amazing black-saturn! The Cure and George Michael tickets :j :j

    I have started entering competitions recently - some of them, kindly posted by fellow MSErs, :A were too good to miss lol - and hope to be a winner soon.

    Have a great weekend, and may your list get bigger... and bigger... and bigger ;)

    We came back from this yesterday and had a wonderful time. The hotel was really luxurious and the meals were really lovely. The only thing we paid for was a drink from the mini bar in the room which wasn't much. We went sightseeing round London and went shopping in Harrods. It really was lovely.

    Problem is when I get home I find my phone line has decided to pack up so I'm in an internet cafe right now which means I can't do my job properly either as I work on the net from home. BT are coming to fix it tomorrow :mad:
