    Books seem to be the only thing I win! Got a couple of proofs, signed and 'first editions' - (If only they were hampers of food while I was a student....;) )

    I want the life-size cow. Only so my cow can be sent to africa! How cool would that be! :) x
    December Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers
  • Mine was a year supply of tea which I managed to win on twitter. Was about four bags - went through it in about a month!
  • Omg, fuzz, when I saw this comp I immediately thought, ' I want to deffo win this!' I used to love reading 2000AD BITD. Also I think film/tv memorabilia must keep its value, and these types of prizes are a bit more interesting than the usual gadgets, spa breaks, etc (not that I'd turn any of those down if I was lucky enough to win anything like that)!!

    I wanted to win that too - but for my mum. She always said that she should buy a cow with the amount of milk me & my brothers & sisters went through while we were all living at home (5 of us in total) - so I entered for the chance to say you don't have to worry about buying one now :rotfl:

    I like quirky little things, but the only other thing I REALLY wanted to win was the whole set of Moshi Monsters Series 4 for my daughter, as she is an avid fan of them, and I won! Was over the moon and screaming so loudly my next door neighbour knocked to make sure I was ok haha
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • I really want a shed... for my fishing stuff.
    Big thanks you to everyone who posts comps...
    Really wanna win an ITV comp... Maybe this will be the year!
  • I would have loved to win The Penetrator, which is surely one of the most unusual competitions we've had on here.

    From One-Eyes post below:

    The Penetrator, for those who are blissfully unaware, is a weapon constructed from a metre-long dildo attached to a handle of a baseball bat. Holy Moly does not encourage anyone to use The Penetrator as a weapon, mainly because everyone will laugh at you, and also because someone might get hurt.

  • I was desperate to win a place at the My little pony wedding for my dd - she is mlp mad!! and would have been died and gone to heaven if she had got to go. I found about 10 comps on here to enter - and very few entries for any of them - but alas no luck at all.

    I am also a member of the book lovers club - I love the smell and feel of new books - probably because I never got them as a child - all mine were hand me downs or from the library and well thumbed before ever I saw them.
    January 2012 Debenhams Goodie Bag and Conor Maynard Tickets (= happy teenage daughter!).

    Thanks to all who post, and GL to all who try!!
  • I really wanted to win the brush baby- a chewable toothbrush for babies.

    I ended up buying it, but still grateful to the competition for showing me something i never knew exisited
  • I just found my 'most wanted' prize - a year's free subscription to Racing UK!

    Hands off it everyone, that one's mine!! :rotfl:

    I'm a massive Stone Roses fan, so everytime there's a comp for tickets or merchandise I enter, but I never win.

    They have a DVD release out soon so *fingers crossed* :)
