Wins so far...

Hi all. This is possibly the first post I've made that doesn't involve some form of grouchery!
I began doing competitions in February this year, following an Achilles tendon injury that had me virtually housebound and going stir crazy. Never expected to win anything - the inner sceptic insisted it was all a load of tosh - but I had a win (a Valentine's hamper) inside 3 weeks, which prompted me to enter everything I could find!
I've had a fair few smaller wins, but also a few reasonably good ones:
A pair of VIP weekend tickets for Wireless Festival - £1200 at the box office - Click n win
A Sony home theatre headset worth £1300
A Samsung NX30 camera - £900
A Daiwa rod - £300 (my favourite hobby, too!)
Most recently, the full range of Stihl cordless garden power tools plus charger and battery - RRP £2700+ (Facebook)
Total wins so far about £11,000. Not bad for a bit of button bashing
