Just me being nosey...
:rotfl:
I was just wondering what your favourite wins of 2011 were? Not necessarily your most expensive or biggest win of the year, but what did you win that made 2011 a little bit extra special for either yourself or perhaps your family?
My favourite win of the year was the Breville Hot Cup from a comp posted by princess pixiedust :A http://www.breville.co.uk/products/kettles/breville-brita-filter-hot-cup-with-variable-dispense.html I had been planning on buying one eventually to replace the kettle so it was a fab surprise when a free one just turned up by courier :beer:

Definitely my first win a £500 cheque from Best Western comp. It paid for our summer holiday and got me completely hooked on comping!

Well mine (actually won late 2010) but taken this year was our honeymoon win, was perfect timing especially as I rarely enter holiday comps, and this one was a lovely sheepskin break in a log cabin in south wales was gorgeous!0

I'm finding it hard to choose one! Think its gotta be the Monster truck driving and the powerboating I won with Pepsi max....what an adventure that will be in the new year! But then really enjoyed the One Day premier..that was fun too! See what I mean, hard to choose!!

Mine has to be my second ever competition win - I won a trip to London - a place I'd never been - for four of us, stopping at a 5* hotel with a trip to a night club /bar tab / full body massages/ £600 expenses next morning worth about £1500.
We stayed a second night (not in the same hotel!!!) and saw a show did some sight seeing and had a great time.
I loved it, won't ever forget it.[FONT="]"Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" - Lucy Maud Montgomery :hello:[/FONT]
