I'm still waiting for my first proper win - I did once win a cheque for £25 from a prize draw by filling in a Boots survey online, but that was not really a competition as such so I don't count it, and anyway it was about 3 years ago!! Been comping regularly although not at hugely high volume, for about 4 months now, so am little bit disappointed not to have even had one win in that time, but never mind - it's all fun!0

This is my 2nd go at more serious comping. I used to do it about 3 years ago, until I just got too busy. I think my first prize then was a set of ergonomic pens that hardly worked. They went in the bin very quickly. Very soon after that I won a signed limited edition print by Axel Sheffler (the guy who illustrates the Julia Donaldson books). That is still on display in my kitchen.
This 2nd go at comping, I won a free Yorkie bar but don't really count that. Then I won the Daybreak "10,000 to give away" sports kits.Because it's fun to have money!

I've been comping for a couple of weeks now
Although it's slowed down over the last week because I'm busy with uni. I haven't had any proper wins yet, just instant wins
Love hearing everyone's stories!

I've only been comping for 18 days and didn't expect to actually win anything at all.
Yay to comping!

My first win was £100 of personalised M&M's for our wedding. My wife to be was so chuffed with it. Problem is the wedding is in 2014 and the order has to be made by February 2013, so i am hoping they keep.Debt free as of 7.20am on 31st December 2012.
