    My biggest win so far was a gorgeous Christmas M&S hamper. It had loads of goodies, chocolates, Mulled Wine, and so on. It also came with some Microsoft things, the latest Windows, keyboard, mouse. We enjoyed all the M&S goodies, and sold the Microsoft things. I kept the hamper; we store games in it. I still treasure it as a reminder of a fab win :j:j:j

    I won a VIP visa trip for four to the olympics, which was worth about £1200, and an excellent tumble dryer from Appliances online worth about £300. - I always say this was my biggest win, because in size - it is. ;)

    Good luck xx
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Have had some lovely wins for myself and my family in the three years I've been comping..My biggest win was a holiday for 2 to Ibiza but they gave me a cheque for £1,000 instead which I put towards a family holiday in Tenerife.
    I also won a Lucozade Festival Package for my son and 2 mates who were collected from his home by campervan and taken to Latitude and back which must have been worth a lot too.
    Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media


    Best Win of 2019 - Forest Holiday :)
