My First Win - An AEG Cooker. Thanks walwin!

I have been entering competitions for the last 3 months now and was literally overjoyed to check my emails this morning and see that AEG want my address to arrange delivery, because I won this cooker: http://www.aeg.co.uk/Products/Cooking/Cookers/49332I-MN!

It was this weekly competition: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3789333
Kindly posted by Walwin. Thank you so much!

I've been entering for a few months and, having not won anything before, I was starting to think I'd never win, but the feeling is definitely worth the hours spent entering things.

It's clear how happy I am because I never normally use exclamation marks!

But anyway, I'm rambling - my message to those who are starting to get despondent about their chances of winning is this: Keep going, it's an amazing feeling when you do!

Thanks again Walwin.

Alex

  • Well done and thanks for your words of encouragement - I feel like I need them right now - nothing seems to pop into my email box, except newsletters and certainly nothing is popping through the letterbox at the moment - I will just keep trying - any hints???

  • Congratulations glynnder - brilliant first prize. Bonchance, my advice is persevere, and enjoy. Remember you have to be in it, to win it!
    Thanks to all who post comps!
  • Thanks very much guys!
    And bonchance, bear in mind that it's all random, so whilst you might not be winning any now, in the future you could win several in a row. That's about it really, though it helps if you're really easy to entertain like i am.
  • Well Done :j
