    OMG!!!

    When somebody has won something worth a few hundred pounds or less.

    I think it should be reserved for wins of £1k+

    'Love to win xxx'

    That doesn't even make sense! Would they love to win or do they love to win? I just don't know! :p

    'You legend' - really? come on, no ordinary person is a legend, there are really very few legends and its not a phrase that should be used to describe an above average act.
    Win Totals 2013 £3331 / 2014 £4815 / 2015 £3067 / 2016 £5617 / 2017-2023 £4106 / 2024 £2500 OVER £23K!!
  • weekend break - for one night

    Beat me to that one.

    Win a wardrobe of clothing - prize = £100 (ish) to spend on their site.

    Or

    Everyone's a winner! Besides the main prize we're giving everyone a discount code.. No that's not a prize when I have to spend money to get your 'prize'
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!
