    My car was stolen a couple of years ago it wasnt worth claiming on the insurance as it was only worth a few hundred quid and as my oh was out of work we couldn't afford to replace the car then a month later I won £500 which was enough to buy a cheap run around and it couldn't have come at a better time :)

    Also the tablet I won just before Christmas has proven to be amazingly useful, never really fancied one but since I had it I find it great, always here next to me, convenient and easy to use.

    My most useful would have to be my win of £1250 worth of electrical items, 90% of them were used for Christmas presents and saved us alot of money and meant we could give to those who we wouldn't have been able to before :)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Most useful was a cash win from Dickinsons real deal that came in handy for sure. But other than that it has to be my DAB radio it's used daily by all the family.

    Calladan - I'm not sure why you bothered to PM me with your opinion when you have put it on here anyway ?

    As i explained in my reply to you - I don't remember entering the comp and yes lesson learnt I now only enter comps if I really want to win the prize.

    It's quite possible it was a runner up prize and you entered for the main prize and that's why you don't remember it.
