    Ahh Ta guys, hopefully the comping fairy will be kind to us in our mission! I got the idea because 99% of stuff i see as prizes would be much more useful for someone else!

    *Fingers crossed, my mum really wants a Kindle, she wouldn't ask or anything and she spends so much time and thought into our lots pressies, if I dont win one Ill have to buy her one!:D

    I'd like to do that but currently all the prizes I win are going to birthday presents. Hopefully if the second half of the year is good I can then put them aside for Christmas.

    I would love to do this, if I ever won anything.

    -A holiday, or cash to pay for one, for the long suffering parents (esp as it's their 25th wedding anniversary this year and they can't afford to do anything really) would be amazing. Shopping vouchers to help them out too. Kindle for my Dad.
    -For my brother, clothes or a game console perhaps?
    -For the BF... cash for the following, or the following themselves: new phone, new desktop computer, clothes, holiday (with me ;) )

    Don't have anyone else.

    I seem to go through stages of being bothered to comp, but if we think of the money we will save over xmas its worth it! Ive saved almost £50 of nectar points which will go towards xmas food at my mums!
