I filled in a comp in the Lidl leaflet for a car and won runner up prize of £50 Lidl voucher. Then started buying all the weekly mags, then trying to find an answer to one fell upon MSE and never looked back, what a fab site (most of the time). I don't let it eat me up when life situations suddenly takes over I just pick myself up again and press on.BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS0 -
Goodness just got the fright of my life tried to eat a piece of lightly browned toast got the first bite down and chocked then went into a coughing fit and couldnt get my breath. whenever I tried to breath in cough was like a whoop and chest got tighter and tighter. Ok now thank god. so will stick to the liquid supplements hospital gave me until this clears up but I am absolutely k**ckered now and got a pain between my shoulder blades0

Hope you're ok now Rose, that must have been scary. Best off sticking to soup or build up drinks.
I like how you came across Mse Sylvia
I came across it looking into switching gas and electric! I was a comp addict anyway doing puzzles and postal comps here and there. I was like a kid in a sweet shop when I saw all the comps! I didn't understand what the E:?/? meant at first and then I saw the comping guide so had a good read before I entered!
Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!0 -
