I won a MASSIVE bottle of perfume!

Hi, I'm new to the forum but wanted to join in the chats and also thank people who post such fab comps so I have just joined 5 mins ago. As I get used to using the site I will thank each person individually but please bear with me :)

Last week I won a 1.5litre bottle of Guerlain perfume on fb! 3 weeks ago I found out I was in the top 5 to be Walt Disney Worlds first family which involved a 3 week holiday in Orlando but unfortunately I didn't win.

In the last 12 months I have won my wedding in the Bahamas, a week in South Africa, a week in the Cayman Islands and several other smaller prizes including theme park tickets, concert tickets and vouchers. I work full-time and am very picky with what I enter - I only enter what I really want to win, and I tend to enter competitions that require a bit of effort. I've been incredibly lucky this last 12 months and coming on here and reading about everyone's wins (big & small) spurs me on to keep entering even when time is short.

You all seem like a lovely bunch of people, I look forward to getting to know some of you better, and to hearing more fab winning stories :)

    I usually enter between 20 -30 per day, I don't have a set routine, I just write down the ones I want to enter in a book then make sure I do them a few days before the comp closes. I tend to catch up on a Saturday morning when the kids are at football.

    It's hard to do as I work full-time but I try to set aside an hour each night to check through each day's listings, and I also do the itv comps in my lunch hour at work.

    Here's hoping some of my good luck will rub off on everyone here :D

    What on earth are you going to do with 1.5 litres? Isn't that like 30 regular bottles? I've had perfume before, it takes me a year to get through a normal bottle.

  • Wow, some brilliant luck you seem to be having and with only 20-30 entries a day. :) I usually do around 30 a day (sometimes more if I have time)and was starting to think maybe I don't do enough to get many good wins, so it's good to hear of others doing well with a similar amount of entries.

    Well done on all your wins! :)
