    I won slimming pills.

    I would never enter for them, not do I enter for things to sell on.

    I still have no idea how I won them… unless it was a runners up prize, but I don't really know why it would be! :/

    I made the mistake of complaining of a 'dry patch win wise', I got a win very soon after.... Sperm friendly lube! I'm single and will never complain of a dry patch again Incase the comping fairy misunderstands again!

    I won some lube too and applied some to the hinges on my back gate! It has never creaked since! Also works on sticking bicycle chains! animated-msn-big-grin-smiley-emoticon.gif

    A well known soup company tweeted that the next 10 to tweet will get their initials in fridge magnets.
    I tweeted and they sent my initials. I was expecting something rather grand as they are a top company.
    What I got was my initials in there 'stylee' on 2 floppy pieces of magnetic cardboard.

    Last week I took delivery of a prize - a couple of lovely mugs and a seaside photo frame. The glass on the frame was smashed, I emailed the PR to thank them for the prize and to let them know about the frame. I expected them to say that they would send another but oh no...they replied:
    Oh dear, that’s a shame.
    I hope you can replace this, perhaps it might be better with a pvc film rather than glass.


    the frame was filed in the bin!
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

    I won some "lube" too , don't remember entering for it so possibly a consolation prize ? :)
    A week or so later I won a years supply of batteries... now I'm not sure why but when I announced those wins at our local comping club meeting it was met with much hilarity ;)

    Same here, I've had a few dodgy runners up prizes that I'd never have entered for had they been the "main prize" :rotfl:

    I think the worst runners up prize I got was a rugby ball - main prize was 5k!
