    1) I have been trying to win a decent mobile phone since I started comping nearly 4 years ago and I finally won one last week! Was determined I wasn't buying one when my little Nokia worked fine.

    2) For my birthday I asked for a camera and a hairdryer and since then I have won better ones of both

    That is lovely too! I must admit my old phone was a bit of a brick but because I only used it to call and text, I didn't bother buying a new one - I just hoped to win one - which I eventually did!!! :T And the one I won is a really good phone and can do everything from calling to texting, browsing the net, navigating, taking great photos etc - So I got rid of my brick and use my prize phone now but only for calling and texting as I still haven't got round to reading the instruction manual that came with it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    (1) Have put off a shiny new Mobile Phone in hoping to win one :eek:


    (2) Had to buy: Toothbrush*, Steam cleaner, Toaster, ipad, as wins didn't come through before or after purchase.


    * though received a €50 cash gift!


    Well done for whom the Comping Fairy had your back!
