It's been a great comping week...

This week I got:
A Kit Kat chocolate bar via Katiel's post
TWO small sample bottles of posh perfume from clicking on freebies
My £10 Smiths voucher from Chelsea1969's post
Sorted out my £100 worth of plants that I won from a Thompson & Morgan Twitter comp here. I can't find it, so I don't know who to thank.
And I just found out that I also won vouchers as a second prize in a holiday comp from reniannen: Unfortunately, I wrote back and asked them to redraw it, as it was really the first prize I was after, and we can't make use of the vouchers. Still, it's nice to have won - or come second rather.
Only ITV left to hear from now, I think. Thanks to all here for my new and very exciting hobby :T:T:T:T:T

Aw Sherbie, what a lovely thing to say. And I'm soooo glad to find out who to thank. The person I've dealt with is just so nice. I've gone for pot luck, whatever he thinks is nice. I said as long as it's not any red blooms - I don't DO red, hence the name. You are such a star to post these fab comps. I've gone in for a few of yours. To be honest, we've not had the easiest year - I know, who has ;o) But comping has given me such a lift. As someone else said (gojoroan I think), winning stuff is lovely, but even more is the hope and excitement of never knowing what today might bring you.
Sorry, I'm rambling. I'll shut up with one more extremely sincere THANK YOU :A:T:AI am brave, I am bruised

This post.... about an ITV comp but it could apply to many comps and many posters...
"Wouldn't usually bump but....
Hey Comping Cat - I think you are ace!!
I've just got in from a cr*ppy day at work...settled down to do a few comps...worried I might have missed an ITV one or two...finished my beer...found and entered this...and it just struck me (again!!)...without you and all the others that post comps here I would never have the time or energy to enter more than a few that I found myself as I used to do.
So a massive heartfelt thanks to you, and all that post here...without you guys I wouldn't go out tomorrow morning with the hope/anticipation etc that I get from this...
....and I wouldn't be going to bed with the knowledge that my dreams won't be dark and full of financial worry..they will be full of hope...couldn't care less if I win or not(not that it wouldn't be good!!)...at least I know I've got a chance...and that is special!!
Thank you again!!
