My best win of 2011 was without a doubt meeting Johnny Depp at the premiere of The Rum Diary. I've been a fan since i was about 14 so this was a BIG deal for me.
I cant put a price on the excitement of having his arm wrapped around my waist. I'll be showing the photo to my grand-children.

Mine was the £1000 Phase Eight voucher. I got myself loads of new clothes for my summer holidays and a lovely leather handbag and still have £300 left to spend.
Second favourite was the state-of-the-art washing machine with a years supply of laundry products. My sisters washing machine was on its last legs, so I gave her the machine and I haven't had to buy any laundry powder/conditioner since april

My favourite & best has to be my money cant buy dream holiday to Kenya. All expenses paid 5* luxury where I got to meet all the red nose day celebrities & to make things just perfect it was my birthday that day & I got a kiss from the gorgeous Olly Murs & Dermot O'Leary. I very much doubt I'll ever win anything like that again & I would never have been able to afford to go otherwise. It was also lovely to spend quality time with my sister who I rarely get to see. I've had an amazing year averaging a prize a day & the year ended as well as it started with 36 prizes this month including a much needed new laptop, equally much needed cash & lots of online spends & vouchers. Christmas & new year has been amazing as I havent had to spend any of my own cash to buy food, clothes or presents.
Wishing every one of you a very happy new year & may 2012 be your luckiest ever. Sprinkling you all with comping fairy dust as we speak

My personal favourite is the Kindle (should arrive next week), I never want anything for myself, but had always wanted one, so my OH bought me one for my birthday in April. Unfortunately in June my son decided it served a better purpose as a frisbee :eek: (he's autistic not just plain naughty :rotfl:), so winning one is fab as we couldn't justify the cost of buying a replacement.
My best win was the £1000 and personal shopper in Harvey Nichols (spent £100 on myself and the rest on friends and family), managed to buy gifts for Christmas, my sister's 40th and a friends 18th (gifts far bigger than I could have afforded myself).
Next the iPad, my daughter's face was priceless Christmas morning, then the £250 from Reward Your Thirst which paid for my son's PS3, he too was beaming Christmas day.
Last but not least for the 4 of us, in April 2012 we have a 3 night stay in a wooden lodge in Devon, daughter is bringing a friend so there will be 5 of us.
This comp board is amazing, have made some lovely new friends, and the whole community in general is fab. Happy New Year to you all xxI love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

Must be the £5,000 bed we won from Period Living . It really makes a statement in the room and has been much admired and many a joke made about it .
