    I've always been interested in comping ever since I won an 'eat to the beat' tape from a bag of potatoes when i was ten! (In fact they sent about five of the same tape!)
    I entered radio and paper/mag comps then i discovered mse in sept 2008 and was so excited by how many comps there were on here! :D Never looked back since.....so it looks like i'm here for life ;)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    ooh also won my first prize when very young :rotfl:was an out of date tin of beans or peas (can't remember which now :rotfl:in a raffle :eek::rotfl:
    first "proper" comp win was from a sunday newspaper crossword which you had to fill in in them days & send off, think the prize was about £10, a lot of money in them days :eek::rotfl:

    what did you win for your first comp josie :D

    I still have it - it was set of 10 classic novels (alice in wonderland, gullivers travels etc) All bound in blue & gold binding :D

    They follow me thru every house move & the kids have read some of them too - although think the 'anthology of poetry' will need to wait til they are a bit older lol :)

    Wasn't divadee the driving force in setting up the comps forum? My impression was that it wasn't really considered part of the general site - not real moneysaving - at first.

    Yep along with Kipper. It has changed a lot since the beginning - evolving constantly - I guess it's not 'real' moneysaving, and that is what we have to remember when all the demands are made to change this that n the other - that it doesn't have to be part of the forum if it creates too much aggro! lol
