    With thanks to Purple Skull to post #4, my personal challenges for 2013 are:

    Win 20 prizes over £13 in 2013 :D

    Win a prize for every letter of the alphabet :eek:

    Good luck, everyone :beer:

    I think I'm going to do 13 over 13 and the alphabet one if we can't all agree on something :)

    ....JLS tickets, John Denver CD, Elton John DVD, juicee, jacket, - in short, there are loads.

    I see no reason why we all have to even do the same challenge. We could each put our own challenge details in our signature with details of how we are doing on it, or even if there was a thread on this board for it, we could each make just one reply on the post and state what our challenge to ourself is and then update that post as we progress, with details of what we have achieved.

    Thats a good idea, we each have our own if we can't come up with a one-for-all idea.

    I will go for £2013 and an alphabet one. It is also my first full year comping and my first challenge so these two seem a bit easier.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:
  • im torn between A-Z

    20 things worth more than 13 quid

    and

    this one
    How about winning a prize beginning with J in January, F in February, M in March etc.?

    problem with the A-Z is i know i will probably fail on the awkward letters and with the 20 things over 13 quid, i dont always know how much my prizes are worth

    I like this one. I'm quite new to this but have been quite lucky so far, I think this may be do-able for me....
    Do the right thing.....Because its the right thing to do
  • I wasn't on the forum for the A-Z one last time so I may do that this year.

    I also thought up a good one (for me anyway!) ... win prizes for each of my family members/friends for their birthday & Christmas.
    I already half try to do this but I might formalise it and make it a target.

    Both will require a lot of wins but they'll be fun to try - and they can overlap too! :D

    Oh yeah, I'd already planned to try win presents for my family but hadn't thought of it as a challenge. I'm going to do that one too. Race you! :D

    I also like the idea of us all doing different ones and not one common one because I find the keeping track of letters from different star signs a bit complex for my feeble mind x

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    I like the idea of different challenges, I might try to do a couple, haven't done the A-Z before personally so might add that, too.

    Feeling optimistic so fancy a challenge :rotfl:
    MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR

    I did post my idea in another thread but this is my suggestion

    My idea is Wins for my ....
    Basically you have to say what type of prize you wish to win for other people, be they a family member or close friend.
    So for instance your list could read something like this,
    Win for my... husband/wife Laptop or iPad
    Win for my Daugher/son ... a new toy that's just come out
    Win for my mother.. Luxury spa day or weekend break
    Win for my Best Friend.. A hamper of food
  • I think I'm going to go for 3:

    Win presents for all my family
    Win 20 prizes over £13
    Win one of each from A-Z

    Good luck all x

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
