    For me it's not so much what eludes me, as tons of items/categories do that :o But nearly all my wins are either alcohol (Hic!), chocolate (Burp!) or pet stuff (grateful licks). Yet I go in for tons of other things too.

    I have been comping for over 30 years on and off. In that time, I have won lots of electrical items, such as washing machine, DAB radio and hair straighteners, but the one thing I have never won, but would love to win is a holiday.
  • I've still yet to win an electrical appliance. Must be my turn soon! Also some shopping vouchers would be nice. :) Although I'm happy for any win! :)

    Hmm. I've never won alcohol.

    My very first win was a 7 night all inclusive fly drive to Canada for hubby and myself - I nearly missed it as I missed the email and they sent a letter saying 'don't you want this holiday?'. I nearly passed out from shock and excitement, let me tell you :)

    Yes it is strange. I seem to attract cameras. Think I have won about 5 in the last couple of years including one very good one :D

    My very first win when I first started comping in 2004 was a Washing Machine and ever since I got that LWE from Hotpoint I have been inspired :D

    I read about people who have won a few TVs yet that is one prize that has always evaded me!! Likewise Ipads.

    I will keep plodding on!

    Don't think I have been back long enough to analyse my current wins but in the past when I comped seriously for a number of years, I never ever won a holiday:(.

    Would love to go to New York for a short break but can't justify the cost of flight tickets so I'm hoping to win one some day;)
