Just a little note...

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone on here, who does anything from posting comps, to answers, to replies for problems. Just having any part.

I recently became an ITV winner (I am awaiting my cheque for £4,350 from Real Deal!!!) and have won various other things over the short time I have been comping (started properly in April this year)

I am a single mum to a beautiful 2 year old girl who deserves so much, that I cannot often give her because its too expensive. I try my best and I hope its good enough. I work part time at the moment and study with the Open Uni the rest of the time, as she doesnt qualify for free childcare and its far too expensive otherwise, but hopefully come Jan when she will I can go full time!

Anyway this has made a massive impact on my year so far. I get to take her on holiday and also spoil her rotten for her birthday in September. Peppa Pig World is on the cards for sure :)

And basically its all down to you guys. Without this site it wouldn't be possible and I just wanted you to know how much it means to me. You have all not only helped me, but you have made my daughter a very happy little girl.

I hope you have lots of wins and wish you all the luck in the world. My daughter also says "Tell your friends on the laptop Mummy, I love them!"

Lots of love and best wishes

    Aww, congratulations. :D If I won an ITV comptition (hint hint, comping fairy ;)), I'd be writing a post like this about my little boy. :)

    I hope you and your daughter have lots of fun spending it. :D

    Congratulations, that's great news for a Monday.

    Enjoy, both of you. :)
  • Congratulations on your win and also on your little girl. Its lovely to hear someone that is benefiting and not just the usual moans.:)
    I love this site and I have had lots of savings and wins that have saved me buying Birthday/ Christmas pressies. I love a win whatever it is.
    Long may you keep winning:j
