What's the BEST prize you've won?

Really hard to choose. I guess the one I have enjoyed most was a break at a country house hotel in the Lake District. It was just after I had been living below benefit levels for two years (paying off my mortgage as single parent with insecure job and wanted to keep the house). It was a very expensive hotel and we were totally pampered. The food was out of this world. During the days we visited local National trust properties as in a seperate comp, I won a year's free family trust membership.

The biggest pleasure for me was how much dd enjoyed it as I felt she was really missing out on a lot because of my financial position. I had also found mse by then and the tips were also starting to make a huge difference to my life. The savings I made through mse paid the for the petrol and the little things we bought when we were away.

I haven't won a single item, so can't contribute.

You've all had some fantastic wins! I must have entered about 500 competitions as of late, so hopefully something will come of it.

Well my best win doesn't hold up to all your wins.
It was a Siemens mobile phone I won on a bottle of Fanta in 2002.
I had always doubted those "text the code to this number" type comps but I was acutally on a training course when I got the call to tell me I won. It was a tiny little thing and I felt ultra cool when I used it.

I won a night out at a private screening of the matrix and a dvd player

Wow, loads of great prizes there, makes my £23.99 enchanted castle look a bit paltry.

No it doesn't strepsy it's not how much you win that really matters but what the win means to you that counts.
