  • Probably the isle of wight ferry tickets. I couldn't use them ( even though we go every year) as it had to be a off peak trip so I offered them for sale to anyone else we go with (£50, when they should cost £100) So I got £25, comic relief got £25 as that was the day we did the deal, a friend got a cheap ferry and her mother in law got a free holiday as she bought it as a thankyou, as her m-i-l won't take any money for baby minding! So a lot of people benefitted from that one.
    The cider was very nice too!
  • Mine is a toss up between 2

    1 £1500 vouchers for westfield shopping centre London, took the family and had a good spend, treated us all which was lovely :D

    2 £1000 towards a holiday booked a cottage for next year in the new forest with a heated swimming pool, another one where we can all be treated, hubby didnt get a holiday this year as he was just to busy with work etc and couldnt seem to juggle to get time off so this is already booked cannot wait :D:D

    both these wins were with facebook ;)

    Well done everyone there's some FAB wins this year for us all, lets hope 2012 is as good

    Good Luck everyone :):)
  • wow some great wins :)

    I would love to say my holiday to San Francisco but now I just have stressful memories so... probably the PS3 (although it's mainly been used for blu-rays rather than games). I have won another holiday which will hopefully be the best thing but as i'm not taking that until feb I won't list it incase it's not my favourite lol

    Good luck for 2012 every one :)

  • I had never comped until November this year when I entered the Quidco daily comp one day and won! I got a lovely new Kindle and was so excited it felt like Christmas. I wanted a Tassimo machine so started searching for Tassimo comps on google which brought me to this board and I had 14 little wins in December so a very happy bunny! Still hoping for that big one but always pleased to see a WEM no matter how small :-)
  • mine has to be... wait for it... the shrek ears ha!
  • Thanks for doing this - mine are

    1. Luxury trip to London with £500 Selfridges voucher, posh hotel and dinner (took my bestie)
    2. VIP trip to the BAFTAs including Hotel
    3. £500 Toys R Us Vouchers (my daughter was sooooo excited!).

    I'd like to say thanks again to all the wonderful posters and good luck to one and all for 2012
