Did anyone complete their 2013 comping challenges?

Options
For those that set themselves a goal of winning certain things in 2013 such as win £2013 or the A-Z challenge, I'm just curious to see how people got on? :)

Coming towards the end of the year, I haven't quite met my targets but it has been a lot of fun trying. Here's how I got on:

Win £2013 in 2013: I won £1,149.22 worth of prizes (based on how much it would have actually cost me to buy an item - so I didn't necessarily put the RRP if I know I could have got it cheaper. With some items I've also included how much P&P would have cost if it's something I would have had to order online).

A-Z challenge: I have still 6 letters to go! Yes, I have included the letter 'a' and I know I could just put that I've won 'a book' but I want it to be something actually starting with 'a' but that's just me! :)

I can't wait to set some new challenges for next year & maybe even complete one! :)

    I have decided that my personal challenge will be to do the dailies and see if I can win at least one good prize from them.

    I had to look up to see exactly what I put.

    I did complete what I set out to do. :)

    I have been doing the mag daillies for a year now and in that time, I have won a few things from them, - £100 Mango voucher, a necklace, a picnic hamper and a gas barbeque worth about £500, which was my best prize of 2013.

    I had a comping challenge in my mind this year, it was to win something of higher value than I already had. My top prize last year was £100 Tesco Giftcard, this year I won £200 cash a few days before Christmas! Yay!
    I know it sounds lame, but it's really good for me :)
    2014 - £1236
  • I beat the £2013 but a holiday worth £900 helped considerably

  • I beat the £2013 in 2013 easily but I did have a fabulous holiday win that pretty much covered that.

    I was close with the alphabet but have had the last few letters since about October

    Overall I'm chuffed with my wins and prizes this year and feel it's been one of my best years of comping so far

    I completed my win 20 over £13 very early on in the year.
    Didn't quite finish the alphabet though!
