    Probably most useful and most used (although not yet) is the Hauck Viper stroller I won. We bought a couple of additional bits like a carrycot and car seat and now I can't wait for little man to get here so we can use it :)
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    One of my first wins was probably my most useful - £100 Argos vouchers which I used to buy a Nintendo DS. That was a few years ago but my children were playing on it today still.

    I haven't been on it yet, but as of this moment I would say the Creamfields tickets, the OH and myself are quite low on moolah at the moment so it's something to really look forward to :)
  • Our most used wins have been a Samsung mobile and our kindle (both won within a week of each other last year) - and both used (mostly by my OH) on a daily basis.

    We've also won 4 mini-break hotel stays in the UK and a holiday to Lapland (going in November) which are "useful" in that it means we haven't had to pay for holidays ourselves :)
    Best of 2011: London Trip,Hot Air Balloon,£1660, phone,Kindle,Trip to Lapland! Total 2011 wins: £6865
    Best of 2012: Trip to Disneyland Paris, £1665 cash/vouchers, trip to Harrogate, trip to Birmingham, £230 vacuum, 2 x mobile phones, Olympics tickets! Total 2012 wins: £6624

    Mine has to be my iPhone 4 and the 32" TV. I would have said my netbook but that recently died so need to win a new one of those.
