Your top 5 wins of 2014!

  • I've had a pretty good year.

    My biggest win was my hubby becoming cancer-free after finding out he had it in October (from diagnosis to op was 2 days and we were super lucky it hadn't spread). Hope it's OK to make that my number 0 win as my hubby is the best ever... So as not to cheat in my list of 5, having my daughter this year was also an epic win!

    In actual stuff:

    1. Massive tech bundle - all for hubby this Christmas.
    2. Golf break at the Belfry - again given to hubby! (I sense a theme...)
    3. Pink sapphire earrings (not in the top 5 highest value this year but I adore them)
    4. Meet & Greet with Brand New Heavies and gig - I was about to have my daughter and they were wonderful! Not at all freaked out by the massively pregnant lady! Priceless
    5. £300 Amazon vouchers - used these to do out my son's new bedroom. He loves it!

    Lovely to read about all the other wins here!
    Wins 2014 worth: £8,988
    Wins 2015 worth: £5,128

    Well my first year of comping is not quite over so hopefully there may be a Disney holiday to add to the list but so far...


    1. A break in a log cabin complete with hot tub
    2. A VIP day at the races, complete with box looking over the finishing line and free food & wine
    3. Family ticket for WWE (My kids loved it & as there is no way I could spend over £300 on a night out it was a nice change for me too).
    4. Racing car experience (Only won 2 days ago but v excited about it)
    5. Cushelle Koala - my first win after 2 weeks of comping, started off an amazing year with quite a few wins (but no pens!)

    Good idea for a thread.

    Mine are:

    Holiday to Cornwall
    £500 ASOS voucher
    2 days stay in a hotel in Bournemouth
    Dining furniture
    Duvets and pillows

    I think this is my best ever year of comping.:T

    I didn't win a pen, but I did win a pencil. Does that count? It came with a rubber wristband and I seem to recollect it was described as a goody bag, or film merchandise or something when I entered, so I thought it may have been something better than that.:rotfl:
  • I've had a good year, i only started at the end of March.

    1) £200 Red Letter Day Vocuher
    2) Case of Grants Whiskey
    3) £100 River Island Voucher
    4) Corona - Lots and lots of goodies including a case of Lager
    5) £150 Wayfair voucher - Although the amount is high and we got some lovely stuff it was quite a nightmare using the voucher. All sorted now though :D

    I also got a pen :D;)
