I've finally won my first competition

Options
I first came to this forum in the summer of 2008 and spent a year entering hundreds if not thousands of competitions without so much as a single win. I gave up in August 2009 and completely forgot all about entering competitions. That was until about three weeks ago when I had the urge to return to this forum and start comping again. Well it paid off, this morning, for the first time ever, I received an email telling me that I had won an actual competition - a weekend in Cornwall at a spa resort with first class rail travel included.

:j

For anyone wanting to know the exact comp, I cannot post links yet but it was through the AOL website.

    It is a great feeling to see an email entitled "Congratulations, you've won" and it not be a spam email. :)
