I have been entering competitions on and off since the days before personal computers and I cannot remember my first win, but I did have a few back then, including a years supply of lager and a trolley dash round a supermarket.0

I just had my first win!! I'm so so so excited!! I started with the competitions at the start of this month and I've just won something! Woo hoo!! I have won the 5th season of Dexter on the Blockbuster Christmas thingy on facebook. I'm going to be honest with you, I've never seen Dexter and doubt there is much point in beginning on season 5, but who cares?? Wow!Here we go again - advents! So far... an alarm clock, a brothers ladies t-shirt, a brothers flag and pringles mini speakers.
Here's to a successful comping 2012 for everyone! And as always a huge thank you to everyone that posts! :beer:0 -

My first ever win was from Baileys 1 in a million giveaway YEARS ago. I won a Kenwood food mixer/blender, I didn't believe I had won as there was 100 being given away in the 1,000,000 prizes and then it arrived!0
