    Diddly squat again. Sob.

    But I don't really expect to win much, as I am quite picky about which competitions I enter, as I will only enter for things I really want - and they tend to be the highly subscribed competitions.

    But well done to those of you who have had wins this month. I will keep entering and hoping :)

    I've only started comping again in the last few weeks, but won tickets to a show of my choice at the Edinburgh Fringe so went to see Scroobius Pip with a friend. I was delighted with the win, as I had fancied the show but couldn't afford to go :D

    I just need to get more organised about comping in the mornings before work now and hopefully win some nice bits for Christmas!
  • Well done everyone on your wins.

    Two wins for me:

    A book
    1 x bottle of Pepsi
