What has been your favourite win of 2011?... :)

Just me being nosey... :o: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:
2022 wins include.... £1,000 cheque £150 ASDA gift card £250 Impericon gift voucher £100 cheque £100 of plant bulbs £100 Bower Collective voucher

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

    Happy New Year to you all :beer:

    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!

    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!! :)

  • Not been comping as much this year but have had a few lovely wins. Best one has to be years free Sky as we use it every day and has saved us a packet!

    Mine was also £1,000 from Anchor but my favorite smaller prize was a Crock Pot Slow Cooker from Lakeland, I broke the first one they sent me (somehow) and they sent me another, how lovely...

    Thanks to all who post, good luck one and all.

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    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.
