Even when we win little whilst comping, we all still gain...

:j And it is true ! We all gain knowledge and facts when entering competitions!!

It was when I was just entering this comp: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/56065433#Comment_56065433 WIN 1 of 3 Award Winning Inlight Organic Line Softeners' , as posted by Mattytun - the discussion below got me thinking! And yes I do believe I have learned loads of interesting facts I didn't know before I started comping. Woop woop and that is a prize in itself!

Seems a pointless thread I know but just wanted to share :o
:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

  • Not pointless at all :) Its nice to think that even though we might not win the prizes we're learning new things.. some prizes would be nice though too ;)

    Yes prizes are great but knowledge is priceless ! I am defo more clued up on topics such as film directors etc. When my kids talk about the latest cinema/dvd/game releases I now find that I recognise the names, who stars in them etc, so I don't feel quite so 'dumb' lol! I have also been to a few pub quizes lately and have been able to answer a fair few questions - many of the answers I have picked up on while comping!
