    I've only recently got into this, and started with the advent comps on facebook. Today I won a blue-ray player from M&S Facebook advent, couldn't believe it :). I've won tickets to Olly Murs and the 2011 Jingle Bell Ball too.
    Excited to see what I might win in the new year :)

    A toaster from Warburtons in 2007, not bad for a first prize. I've done better since but not for a while.

    My first win was £50 from Take a Break in 1992 or 1993, which I entered in my mum's name, as I was under 18 at the time! :D

    I have no idea what my first online win was. (I've been comping online off and on since 1999.)
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.

    I can remember way back when I was a child in the 1970's -I won a tape recorder with tango-must have been the equivalent of an i pod!i was thrilled .
    Didnt take up comps again until around 1990(this is not a history lesson!)when slogan type competitions were around and won a £4000 holiday to Bali-my husband said i would not win anything else again so large but not so-I went on to win a vauxhall tigra car -courtesy again of tango!and numerous other prizes.I have recently taken this up again and hope to be lucky again......
