Happy Sunday night everyone!
I was just thinking about the wins I've had since comping and which one was my favourite win, most useful, and which one was deemed the "most amazing" win judging from the reactions from family, friends etc.
Mine are:
Favourite: My first ever win which was a runners up prize of a set of fridge magnet letters that spelt my baby son's name that I won from netmums a few weeks after he was born and 10 months on are still pride of place on our fridge. And will be keeping these forever:)
Most useful is the ipad2, the last win that I had. I now do all my comps on it on the go (I used to do it on my phone!), and whilst sitting at home watching telly:)
Most "Amazing" was probably the all expenses holiday to Mexico which I won through Corona, literally the 3rd win since comping that we went on in November. Always wanted to go and couldn't believe I won!
What are everybody else's is?

Great idea! Most surprising was a massive long parcel that my neighbour took in. Had no idea what is was as had no WEM etc. Got it home, opened it to find a sea fishing rod! Lovely surprise win that I gave to my OH's brother who is a keen fisher

Favourite: A signed photo of David Essex I won in the 70's. It's what got me into comping.
Most useful: £150 Photobox vouchers which was a godsend for my Daughter's photography course during very tough times
Most amazing: I have two:
A signed Liverpool shirt for my nephew's 18th. His face when I gave it to him will be in my memory forever.
Tickets for the UK premiere of Alpha Papa in Norwich. Not everyone's idea of amazing, but we are huge fans.To err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer.0 -
Some people have had brilliant wins!! Mine are a bit pathetic in comparison really.
Favourite (and also most surprising as I never had a WEM) - huge box, inside was a beach bag stuffed with toiletries and right at the bottom, a £200 red letter day lifestyles voucher!
Most useful - £250 H&M vouchers, it took me about a dozen trips to the shop to spend it all, and I got me and my eldest son fully kitted out for last summer with it!
Most amazing - am still waiting for a win that I'd call amazing! Fingers crossed!0
