  • My best win was a trip to Lapland, which I won just before Christmas 2011 and took just before Christmas 2012 :) It was from a tiebreaker competition, so my entry had been chosen - which was a nice surprise :)

    Flights, 4 nights in the Santa Claus Hotel, transfers, tickets to Santa Land and £200 spending money.

    Went with my husband and our (then) 2 year old and it was the experience of a lifetime! Favourite moment was a reindeer sleigh ride through the snow - magical :)

    I don't enter any travel/holiday comps but my best wins so far are food ones.
    I recently won a load of Tyrrells crisps (4x15 large bags) and several years ago (maybe 13 or so) I won a years supply of Mars Bars!
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!
  • My best win so far (after nearly two years comping) is a couple of itunes downloads(so probably less than a fivers worth)...

    Mine was a prize bundle which had Samsung 40" HD/3D TV, 3D Blu-ray player and home cinema system along with a copy of Planet of the Apes on Blu-ray.

    As I live in a 1 bedroom flat and already had two TVs I sold one of them for £230 and bought a new dinning room table and chairs with the money :)

    Best win value wise £1000 & a personal shopper at Harvey Nichols (I got about £40 of it for me, rest went on friends & family!)

    Best win for me a Samsung Galaxy SIII (courtesy of gavrc), which is the only phone I have ever been able to work, although I did have to pay £150 for a new screen for it yesterday after DS dropped & shattered it on front step!)

    Best win for DD - iPad 1

    Best win for DS - iPod touch

    However I love all wins big or small, as they usually get put away to be given as gifts xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
    March Wins - Product Of The Year Goody Bag

    My best win was a VIP trip to Cannes Film Festival. It was only for the one night. But we got to eat in exclusive resturants for lunch and dinner both days. Were plied with Champagne from the moment we got there. Got to go up the red carpet and watch one of the films and went to an after party at an exclusive club. Didn't have to pay a penny whilst we were there. It really was an amazing once in a life time experience.
