  • Wow, some fantastic wins posted for this year!! Well done guys :beer:

    This has been my 1st full year comping and have had some excellent wins, including 3 family holidays, 2 in UK, 1 with Nestle to any Eurocamp - we opted for France and had the best holiday so far! But, as selfish as it sounds, I won an O2 experience with Nivea, which meant me and the hubster got to go to London and see Rod Stewart (I picked), whilst staying in the Hilton, with a limo collection etc etc and that has been my best best win (for me - a night without the kids and Rod singing away = bliss) The only drawback - I got food poisoning from the breakfast in the Hilton and spent 3 days really poorly :)

    In all I have won 322 prizes, worth over £12k meaning lots of happy friends, family and of course me!

    Thank you to all the posters on MSE, without you guys I would probably miss lots of wonderful opportunities and lots of fairy dust for 2014 xx
    Back to comping after a couple of years overseas
    Good Luck Everyone
