Do you know...

For some reason, reading the "I won! I won! I won!" threads really make me smile! Sounds daft but it's just really nice to know when people win something and to see how happy it makes them. I can't help myself but check the I won threads before I start my comping, I'm addicted!

If only we could bottle that 'opening the post and dawns on me I've won something' feeling.... Hope to be able to add a thread of my winning soon.

I'm fairly new to this site and just wanted to say a big thanks to all those who put comps up on this site, and also to those who put up the lengthy answers - much appreciated! :grouphug:

    I totally agree. I would have given up ages ago if it wasn't for reading about other peoples wins. It paid off, I had my first win (albeit a small one) this week. Good luck to everyone, here's to many more MSE wins :beer:

    Me too, I always look at the winners thread first, in fact sometimes If I'm short of time but can't resist logging on briefly this is the only thread I look at. I love seeing the different things people win. The range of stuff is amazing - and quite random!

    Long may all the wins continue!
    MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL POSTERS!:happyhear

    I think most of us read this first then. Its great to see what others win (sometimes a little jelouse as it should be me!!!) but it makes you see its possible. I love to hear when people win with slogans as that takes a bit more skill. (no unfortunatly I am not skilled).
    Still keep comping everyone and let us know of your wins.

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:

    Welcome GoldenJill! :wave: I love these threads too. I like to imagine what I'd do if I won some of these prizes, or who I'd share them with, especially the more random ones, like the 'years supply of...' ones. :)

    Me too!!!!

    It really inspires me and makes you realise that it is possible to win these prizes because normal people do. Also I know this is mental but it makes me happy knowing that people I know have won the prizes even though I don't really know any of you, but msers deserve luck and prizes.!!!!!

    I love reading about others wins.
    The small ones and the big ones.
    I'm always amazed at how many competitions there are actually out there and this is such a fantastic place to come and enter them.

    All hail the MSE competition gang!:beer:
