    I'm at the top of it with no chance of parole
  • Ive not won much (yet), but Ive had two small wins. One was a £15 voucher and the other was an instant win worth £6.

    I didn't really do them last year, but in 2012 I did OK (lots of low instant wins like T-shirts and key rings) with the best wins (exercise bike and £400 LK Bennett voucher) finding out by WEM in January.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:
  • My first year doing comping and advents and ive won a bag of dog food. Im happy with that :) id like some more and secretly wishing for an xbox one so i don't have to go out and buy it next week ha ha. No serious though i am enjoying the comps i enter. Advents about 40-50 through the week due to work and prob about 100 at the weekend.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I reckon I spend an hour or so a day working through the advents - it's less than it was at the start of the month as I now know which ones will be of no interest to me and can be skipped - and have had one win so far, from a FB comp. It was only a bottle of moisturiser, but it's good stuff so I'm pretty pleased - I'll be even more pleased if I get some more wins by the end of the month!
    Back after a very long break!
