Thank you everyone

After probably the worst month/year of my life having lost both my husband and mother-in-law in a week, I found solace in going back to competitions. This month I have won:

A James Patterson book
Box of Godiva Chocolates
and my 17 year old son won Chelsea Vs Man U tickets - he is thrilled with this win :j

all from competitions posted on this site.

Thank you everybody for taking the time to post competitions and keeping this Forum going. :T
Thanks to all those who post competitions! Comping on and off since 2009
Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm

    Comping can be a great distraction from the traumas life throws at us!

    So sorry for your loss. I also started comping after the recent loss of my Dad. It's really helped as a distraction. Well done on the wins x

  • Poor, poor you, I don't think you could be in a friendlier more supportive forum if you scoured the whole Earth though. I am so glad that you are! Let's hope this is just the start of a good run for you, certainly sounds like you could use it. Well done on your wins and commiserations on your loss x
