* your favourite thing about comping.
* a positive thing your doing this week.
* a positive thing someone has done for you this week.

*The way most of the community sticks together - I had some lovely messages last week congratulating me on the birth of my son, really brought a tear to my eye. And when a company is being a bit naughty how we stand up to them
(Winning is just a bonus!)

*(Trying to) Declutter my life - well, basically the house. Having our 4th baby, I've realised that we have too much stuff that we don't use / need and when Braxen gets older we'll end up with even less space, so need to get this sorted now! Just having a newborn doesn't make it easy, especially as hubby is working nights

*My other children, the three of them have been sooooo amazing this last week. They are ages 12, 9 and 4 and have been running around doing stuff for me & Braxen all week instead of spending their Easter holidays with friends. They have made me so proud

Lovely thread

* your favourite thing about comping.
Winning and suprise packages of course. But also how much time people are willing to spend finding comps;posting comps; doing puzzles; or recently hunting down Easter eggs, just so that other people (and themselves of course) can have a chance to win. [sorry that sounds really soppy but I have been pleasantly suprised since starting this comping lark at how much people are willing to help out people they will probably never meet]

* a positive thing your doing this week.
My sister and her family are coming to stay for a whole week tomorrow - which means I get to spend lots of time with my lovely (but slightly mad) nieces.

* a positive thing someone has done for you this week.
My Dad bought some mini eggs to go on my mahausive and very chocolatly Easter cake which I am making for a family gathering this weekend. Who knew that any form of Easter eggs are impossible to find on Easter Monday?

This is a lovely thread. It is making me fuzzy and warm just reading it

My favorite thing about comping:
The surprise of winning. I never know what it will be next and I have had some truly lovely experiences due to this fab hobby

A positive thing I'm doing this week:
The Real People puzzles, ready to post and for all who do the puzzles, you will agree that Diabolical is very aptly named!
I am taking my Son and Nephew for a really special treat this weekend and believe me, it's hard to find something to please an 18 and 19 year old!
I am on week 3 of my 6 week empowerment programme and am already feeling the benefits (I have signed my Daughter up too). I go to the gym 3 times a week and absolutely love it!

A positive thing someone has done for me:
My Mum has given me a serious talking to for ignoring a health issue, which I will now get seen to. Thanks Mum, I needed the boot up the backside.

What a lovely idea for a thread.

My favourite thing - when the postie walks up the path, rather than just passing by, and I can see that he has a packet, or two on really special days, and wondering what is in them.
Positive thing I've done- I've been finishing off some knitting for my new granddaughters, due this week.
Positive thing done, but not just for me - the twins were born yestersday :j:j:j both small, but doing well. They don't have names yet, just baby 1 and baby 2. I'm so excited, can't wait to meet them:j:j:j

Sorry, but just had to share my happiness and joy.

hey, it's been wonderful to read all your lovely posts, just wanted to firstly clarify I tripped on the girls toys not the girls lol and secondly to apologise, I've been up all night with food poisoning and have yet to post any comps despite my best efforts this past hour, but I promise i'll try again later x

The thrill I get when I receive a call or email to say I've won something.

Been job hunting and comping like crazy.

Received a call offering me an interview for Monday afternoon.

Great post

**Favourite thing: Living in hope of winning a holiday, googling the tripadvisor reviews and planning what I would do - if anything it has given me some fantastic ideas when I get the money! :rotfl:

**Positive thing: accepting a place at university

**Positive thing someone did for me: received some bad news and left work in a bit of a huff, someone I've recently met sent me the loveliest text message detailing how wonderful I am (obvs) and how things will get better etc - really made me smile!
