    My best one was a few years ago from a local paper - £50.00 worth of lottery tickets (alas, didn't win a bean off them) and £300 leisure vouchers (use for hotels, meals and all sorts). Brillliant. :D

    In a practical respect, I'd say my best win is a great sleeping bag that my little one has been using everyday since we've received it. In a value respect, that would probably be the handbag I've won today

    Only been comping since Feb so my best win so far is the £500 puzzler which arrived today, on Deal or No Deal Noel is often talking about life changing sums of money being in the tens of thousands, but to be honest £500 will make such a difference in our lives if we can buy a car with it (been looking at autotrader already and seen a few I fancy!)

    I can't believe all the fab wins people have had! Wow.

    My worth-most prize was the Guiness fridge with 48 cans of Guiness, so that was worth like £120. My best prize though is probably a family ticket to see Footloose at the Lowry theatre, but that wasn't even my win - someone won it and offered it on the Freebies board as they couldn't go, and I was lucky enough to ask for it first. Next best is probably the Harrogate Flower Show tickets. Not worth loads but kids are free and I'm really looking forward to it. We're going to make a weekend of it and maybe get a cheap late deal for a Haven camp nearby.

    But that's it really, not a lot to show for my hours and hours on here, and the amount I've spent on magazines and stamps means I've barely covered costs... :undecided

    Time to knuckle-down to the more moneysaving aspects of the site me thinks.
