    Great win - but --
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2008648/Is-Britains-luckiest-woman-Former-bank-worker-earns-living-winning-competitions.html

    I read that and you have won better prizes so how is it your dream come true???
    £16500 on deal or no deal that alone could get you a 5 star cruise, and a vip holiday to kenya.

    And you cried?? why?? as your article says you spend your life winning your lifestyle and win alot.
    Just wondered why you'd cry???????????????

    Great win though

    I sympathise with your condition as my mum suffers from fibromyalgia also (and i know what pain you go through each day), mind you the DWP wont give her any benefits at all nor a mobility car, they think shes fine???

    It is an indication of Liz's personality that she can still be so happy and excited by a win - and also of why she is extremely popular on here...

    Fabulous win. Liz, enjoy every minute:j:j:j

    Too true 'chrissie57'

    Like i say my mum suffers from it, and she couldnt do what liz obviously loves doing - so it should be a great inspiration to everyone.,

    Also anyone thinking wow shes won loads - these people arent 1 offs there have been many 'consistant' winners in the media, which just goes to prove that - If youre in it - you CAN WIN!!
    (i only started comping feb 17th and have now won nearly £2000 worth of prizes, and im guessing 75% of the comps ive entered in the last 3 months havent ended, but for me its the perfect start and the start i was looking for, that and stories like we see in the media and on here & fellow compers stories, have really spurred me on and i hope they spur others on)
    And i do see many folks who still havent won a thing after months of trying, as a newishbie all i can say is 'the more you do the better your chance,
    I started this as an experiment personally, to see if i could target bigger prizes only and win, and i have (im shocked tbh) so going to keep going (i said in march that if i hadnt won by end of april then comping wasnt for me, but im delighted with my start to comping, lets hope it continues)

    Well done liz & best of luck with the fibro (i will add you if thats ok as my mum has suffered for around 18 months now, so would be nice to hear any tips or things you do that makes each day a bit easier)
