How do you Record Winnings?

I just keep the WEM's in a folder in my emails. This works for twitter too, because I get an email notifying me if I get a mention, or an DM. The only ones that are not saved that way are ones that just arrive in the post.
I too like the idea of keeping photo's.0 -
I keep all mine in a blog - take a pic when it arrives and keep a running total as I go.
I usually chat about what I receive as well which is a bit sad as nobody reads it so I'm basically talking to myself :rotfl:But it's nice to be able to look back at all the pics!
Have you got a link to your blog? I think that's quite nice and may do that in the new year.
There's another girl on here who posts her wins on her blog too.
I used to write mine down in my phone but then stopped half way through the year...0 -
I pop it in a notebook, and then highlight it when it has arrived.Wishing you all good luck!

It's how I'm doing it so far, however am looking into making a spreadsheet for all the figures stuff and just leaving the diary bit for WEMS and RECEIVEDs and WEBSITEs, and adding in brackets after each website how long each winning took from notification to delivery.Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...
**Gulp**0 -
i use a diary , pop item won in date i won it and add value when i know it
simple and if im ever feeling blue about not having a win i can look thru past diaries to keep my pecker up :0 ! my name is Kit and im addicted to competitions , the what if is my driving force

I keep a diary with what I won, which website/company it was from and who posted it on here. I then list the items I am waiting to arrive in the back and cross it off when it comes.Thanks to all posters!0

I use a spreadsheet, divided into columns for: Prize won, Website won from, Date informed and how informed, Date arrived, Competition OP, End date of comp & Value.
That way I can keep a record of wins I am waiting for.
I sometimes keep a record of method of delivery of prizes, any WTC phone numbers, names or reference numbers on the same spreadsheet.Value of prizes 2010 - 2017: £8374 Wins 2022: Magic set

ooh how old fashioned do I feel now

I have a folder (actual not virtual)
I put plastic sleeves in it that you can fit A4 sheets in.
I put in the winning email or letter or well done slip as it comes in so they are in date order. and when I feel blue from not winning in several months, I look in my folder and say 'ooh you lucky thing what did you win there, stop being such a saddo blue pointy faced loser' :rotfl:
I would like to have one for each year but some from previous years are so thin I had to multiple up, including this years, it will have to be next years too.63 mortgage payments to go.
Zero wins 2016 😥0
