I bet that kept the mother in law happy for a bit though! I've been really happy with my face masks although I suppose it is probably a bit of a girl thing!
My most disappointing win was a magazine that when it arrived was more like a leaflet (like the sort of thing that you'd get free shoved through the door anyway) and completely out of date. It had comps in the back that had closed months ago!

I wouldn't say it was necessarily the worst, as I've been happy with all my wins... but when I got a post office slip through the door because the package was too big, I was very VERY excited. It was rather disappointing to find out it was a deoderant that could have fit through the door! :rotfl:0

It's a tough call....
Could be the '2012 Unofficial Doors Calendar' (Won last week so get about 4 1/2 months use, was in a twitter click haze I guess)
But topped by a Magnet Kitchens 'Summer Themed Accesory' needed a little effort which turned out to be a Single Wilkinson Tea Towel from a £3 pack0 -
A weeks holiday at Pontins, had to leave early and ended up spending a fortune staying in Blackpool instead, we were bitten by fleas overcome with ants, it is honestly the worst place I have ever been and please believe me Im not usually hard to please!
It was like walking into a 1970's timewarp, it was so dated, I have never entered another Pontins comp since!!!0 -
I have been very happy with all my wins, no matter how small.
I suppose if I had to choose, I would say a clock, which looked more like a promotional freebie giveaway and was unsuitable for the house.
I hung it in the shed, so when my partner disappears in there for 'five minutes', he can see exactly how long five minutes really is :rotfl:To err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer.0 -
I think I'd say the Top Cat goody bag I won. It had a ruler and pencil in it hehe. Kids used them though so even that wasn't a terrible win
May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx0 -
I won a goody bag that was supposedly worth £50, when it arrived it was barely £10! I complained so they apologised and said they would re-send...I got another £10 worth of stuff! All of my others have been fab though!Thanks to all those fab compers who post:j:T0

Won a raffle and there were two prizes left. Napkin rings or a book. I went for the book (which turned out to have come from a charity shop when I saw the penciled in date and price inside the cover.)0

I wouldn't say any prizes I've won are the 'worse' as I appreciate all my wins, but my funniest and most random prize was a 3.5 litre tub of these slug pellets! Very useful though and lasted me ages (in fact I think I still have some left):T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0
