Well i would just like to say i am VERY grateful for every win i receive, no matter how small! ive been comping for years but rarely use this site for other than reading peoples news now, which is always lovely to hear.

I am also pregnant and only 8 weeks to go :T

i have been comping for 27 I still enjoy my wins

I am very happy with everything I win, from the little wins to the big wins.

They all find place in my life

Good luck with the baby, me personally have not won anything for months now and am thinking the comping fairy has forgotten me. I do although agree that a simple thank you is good manners and they cost nothing. xx

Soon be changing your name Stace Oh I'm meno so I feel similar at times I've not won a lot for ages now but having 3 wins in 4 days recently was absolutely fantastic! Am I the only one who loves a free sample? I get more excited about them than anything, maybe it's a hormonal thing.

I think the only thing I don't get excited about is promotional stuff. The sort of stuff that is worth a pound or two and is basically advertising merchandise for the company. I often just wonder whether it was really worth the postage costs etc. They're not really a 'prize' are they?

Anyway, best wishes with the impending birth

Depends on your viewpoint.

I absolutely adore the Hobbit, and loved World War Z, so any movie merchandise from those movies would be very happily received by me

All the best with the impending birth OP. Hope all goes smoothly for you

Congrats

I have been comping for 4 months now and had my big win, £3640 whole year of shopping at Aldi. I did this through facebook. I just like the email saying i am a winner no matter how small or big the prize. I might even print the Aldi winner email off for when i am feeling down to look at. Right now i am high as a kite and its all legal lol.

Aw, good luck and I hope baby arrives safely xx

I've felt like that before and also that people who win small things don't appreciate those prizes either. I feel like I appreciate every single win I've had. Everything I win is either a small treat or luxury (chocolate/£10 voucher etc), saved me money (years worth of cereal/£30 Tesco voucher or something sold on to allow me to pay an unplanned bill/treat my family etc.

Yet sometimes in the month ending 'What have you won' post some people say they've had a bad or disappointing month then go on to list their wins :eek: Which seems like it must make the people who haven't won at all feel bad.

Haha, my gran used to say 'it wouldn't do for us all to be the same'

Best of luck with the baby, - no matter what rewards life throws your way, from or a win or just good fortune.. nothing is more valuable than family

Enjoy entering your competitions, and RELAX!! you have a busy time ahead ^^

Nope I love a sample to. My biggest win was a model boat I gave my dad worth £3000 but is apparently one of only a few made so will increase in value but dad leaves it in the box. I love the small wins to, hate when people complain they only won cinema,theatre,music gig tickets or dvds, they are my favourites often things I want but can't afford just yet, they give me free nights out so I love them. Today we won a baking set and we are thrilled, I love little treats in the post. we have been comping on and of for 8 years and I always say its the little things that mean my post isn't just bills and rubbish they make for happy days
