    My biggest prize so far was a Nails Inc manicure worth £50 last December, about a month after I started comping. I stopped after that though and started again 2 months ago but have won nothing so far! Been entering sooo many and really hoping for a big win like a holiday or some cash :D

    biggest in price was the phone and plan B tix I won in Jan with carphone warehouse, the bottle of vodka at movida afterparty alone was worth over £500 - I sneaked it out (empty) under my coat and it now houses 20p's :) Biggest in size was the trampoline I won from Tesco last week.. didnt actually appreciate how big 10ft was and as the garden is not ready for it yet its up in my bedroom... had the fright of my life the other night when it fell over and landed on my head (yes seriously!!) it hurt so much and weighs a lot - I was lying in bed shaking for ages. Now its got me in hysterics every time I think about it!

    I think mine would either be £3500 to pay off student fees or my VIP trip to disneyland Paris (inc euro star, hotel, park tickets and late night entry into the park after it closed to the public!)

    I've been comping for about 18 months now I think, but haven't been as dedicated to it as others so no major wins to report. In terms of value, my biggest win was a pair of limited edition GHDs from a FB comp, which were worth over £100. In terms of value to the family last September we went to Cadbury World as I won a family ticket. Had to pay for a hotel and petrol down there, but the kids had a fab time, and seeing their faces light up was great. Still holding out for that biggie though, but if it doesn't happen, I hope it goes to all you lovely MSE compers who post so many great comps, both big and small :)

    I stumbled on the site a couple of years back after looking for comps. Don't think I'd even joined, read the guidelines, or had any idea what it was all about. I entered some comps as bored silly at work, then found myself on the radio around a week later. Didn't believe any of it until my prize of TV, blu-ray player, DVD player and cinema surround sound thingy all arrived. Worth around a grand. Will always be a special win as it got me totally addicted to comping and I took it very seriously from then on!

    Also won tickets to the Olivier Awards this year with a night in a suite in a swanky London hotel. Got two nights in another swanky hotel to book probably for Oct or next year so really looking forward to that!

    A fab holiday would be my dream as we love our hols. But hubby's a teacher so I can't enter many as it often states 'not in school hols'.
