2 big wins today

So, at 12pm today I got a WEM from Daily Express telling me that I'd won an iPad in their weekly competition. It should be arriving tomorrow, but I don't know if it's an iPad Mini or iPad Air. Personally I'm hoping for the Air.

Big thanks to *KatieL*..!!

Then I was checking my emails in the gym this evening, and literally burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of winning two big prizes in one day. I had a WEM from Shortlist magazine (my second win with them this year, they must like me), saying that I'd won day 3 of their advent competition for a £500 REISS gift card.

Big thanks to Painkiller..!!

So happy to have finally won an iPad, it's what got me into comping in the first place, because I couldn't afford a tablet hehe.

    Amazing prizes.

    Congratulations, well done.
  • Congrats, my wife won too, so one of you will get the mini, the other, the air...

    She was too amazed and also thought it was a bit rude to ask which one she had won!!?

    She does not mind as this is her very first win in anything- just very happy she won. Only been entering for the last 3 weeks with my encouragement.

    As it is your dream I hope you get the air.

    Comping is like sport - it is the taking part that's enjoyable not the winning, but it helps!

    Congrats also on your other big win last night.
