    3) weekend high voltage tickets
    4) golden gods tickets
    5)£50 lipsy voucher

    1) Massive technology prize bundle that included a Macbook Air, HTC desire, Xbox 360, Logitech Squeezebox Radio and a wifi dongle

    2) 32" Sony Smart TV

    3) Go Ape tickets - Not a particularly high value prize, but this was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Since I used the tickets last year I have been back to Go Ape twice and intend to go again.

    4) Sanctuary Spa Day, Meal and travel expenses (due to a problem and delay in me receiving the prize they also added a night in a 5* hotel). My sister and I are going next Tuesday & Wednesday....can't wait!

    5) Chance to meet Terry Pratchett, plus a football shirt signed by him. A once in a lifetime opportunity

    But also..... Any prizes for my children. They are usually low value items but are often things I would not have bought for them otherwise include DVD's, CD's, books, toys or games.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    Hi KGuarded
    Personally I think it's a bit of persistance/time spent entering and a bit of comping karma.

    I read this in someone's signature a few years ago and think it's so true - the only comp you can't win is the one you didn't enter!

    Good luck
