    I've won lovely things but the most dissapointing was having to drive half hr to get to the postoffice to big up a huge box, was very excited, and it was pancake mix, like a month after pancake day and some of the stuff had expired!

    I won a kickboard heater. It was a heater that had to be elictrically attached to your skirtingboard in a kitchen. I gave it to a plumber I had working for me.
    I must admit the Adidas goody bag I won last week from the daily comps was pathetic. A poor water bottle , a GB hat and a cheap flat bag.

    It has to be the 5 pack of thongs I won. I did enter it when I first started comping and when they turned up I laughed so much, especially as I don't think there was enough material in them to even make half a pair of knickers! I put them in the rag bag for nursery, I really hope they didn't go through the bag before it was collected!!

    I've been happy with all mine. I don't tend to go in for stuff I don't want - or don't know anyone who wants.

    I won loads and loads and loads of hammocks. They just kept on coming. My loft was full :rotfl:How many hammocks does a girl need? :rotfl:

    I gave one away to a friend, who promptly fell through it :rotfl:
