    Blimey tichylin, your wins aren't all little wins hun, the nina ricci and cinema tickets/vouchers prize was worth £150 on it's own, I won too and can't wait to go to cinema with hubby for some relaxing child free time which is non existent at the moment so to me it's priceless lol.

    Quite a few people are saying on here that they have no luck yet they have wins for December, sorry to say it but hundreds of thousands don't win at all and alot of the people who win £1000's of pounds worth of wins comp all day long, not everyone can due to other commitments so realistically don't compare your wins to theirs. Even for the small prizes comps usually get anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 entries so yes if you win your very lucky. If you expect to win this is not the hobby for you I'm afraid, don't take it so seriously.

    I agree with savvybunny.

    I feel this thread should be inspiring - often shows that the big prizes can be won. I do sometimes feel a bit:( when someone says they haven't won much then lists a huge amount but when I look at the list it is generally things I wouldn't have tried for (only comp for things I want or could use, don't try for things like kids stuff where I don't need it and winning would deprive someone else:o)

    If the thread starts upsetting you, I would not say stop comping but I would say stop reading the thread;)

    By the way - I won nothing in Dec but am geared up for 2012:D

    All the very best to everyone in the New Year and, as always, massive thanks who those post comps and make it all possible:A

    Quite a quiet December for me but as I never expect to win all are a great

    surprise! Having been unable to enter much up to June due to finishing my

    degree, I realised about September that having no money & Christmas

    looming I had better get back to comping!! Apart from 3 I managed to win

    something for everyone, nothing huge but nice things all the same.


    I am so grateful to all who take the time to post and wish all a very

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    PS. Can I just ask all to be nice to each other, rudeness & sarcasm is not necessary!!

    I won a cheese plate from Waitrose. Gave it to my Mother as part of her Christmas present.

    Not the best month for me, but not the worst either.

    I gave up doing advent comps about 10 days into December as i was finding it all too time consuming.

    Hope everyone has a good comping year in 2012!
