    Worst
    The higgley picnic bag. Came with loads of coupons to have a picnic. I looked everywhere for the food and couldn't find any of it!.

    I thought the Higgidy picnic was really good!
    Waitrose stocked all the items apart from the G'nosh dip.

    Best - £200 cheque


    Most disappointing - Month's supply of toddler ready meals which turned out to be 10 £2 off vouchers, meals at the time were £2.68 each! So, not a month's worth and not a win either!
    2014 - £1236
  • Best - Lindsey Stirling tickets - although I didn't get to go as it was too soon :( But it would have been amazing hehe!
    Worst - Mystery prize - disposable halloween costumes - essentially plastic bin bags with prints on them, I did however get some use out of them - to catch spills underneath my toddler's chair!!
  • In my second year of (serious) comping and my best win this year is definitely the £2500 holiday voucher which we used to book flights to Florida (10 weeks and counting!:D)but we have enjoyed the case of wine each month for a year too! :beer:
    I don't think I've had any disappointing wins at all this year. 13 was definitely lucky for me!!!

    Top wins - Florida holiday, North Carolina holiday, Sky TV for a year, wine for a year

    Thanks to all who post and good luck to everyone!!:rotfl:

    Well done on some great wins!! Just got to ask, from your username - are you a Love fan by any chance??!
  • Worst - Stylist win. (Worst jewellery - a drag queen refused it!)

    Haha I do look at some of the really expensive jewellry that is given away as prizes and think they should really replace the word "worth" with "costs".
    Thanks to all OPs and everyone who helps/posts etc!!:T

    Worst - The Dry Mouth Gel that suddenly arrived, very strange.

    I received that as well...it took me a little by surprise when I opened the package!

    My best win(s) are the tickets to music events which I've won (and my girlfriend has really appreciated) and a Hudl which I gave to my mum.

    Most disappointing? Nothing I have won has been disappointing, rather it is disappointing when you do win tickets to an event and then it turns out you can't go! It is nice when they let you pass the tickets on though :)

    Yes you guessed it! It's my favourite album and was listening to it when I registered on the site. :)
