    I tend to only comp for the December advents, because despite always wishing to, I just don't have the stamina to comp all year round. It's quite addictive - just one more competition!

    However I've been very lucky this year, and in the last two weeks I've won:

    1. Playstation 4
    2. Red azalea tree (still waiting for this to turn up "in time for Christmas")
    3. Bunch of flowers
    4. RHS Veg book (actually I entered this in November, but it only just arrived)
    5. £25 shoes.co.uk voucher (won today!)
  • Not a great year....but some good wins that I kept instead of giving as gifts!
    1. Tickets for East is East for 23rd this month
    2. £40 Nisa Shopping Vouchers
    3. Chivas Regal kits Scotch n some other bits
    4. Electric Shower
    5. A pair of top price tickets to see Lesley Joseph starring in Hot Flush!
    5.5 A pen from a jewellers....a biro....the envelope was prob written by my 'win'!
    TOTAL 2013 £3100 :eek:
    TOTAL 2014 £1250

    TOTAL 2015: £500 winning:2 tkts to theatre, Cap1 Footie, weeks holiday in lakes.
  • 1. £500 worth of Ikea vouchers.
    2. Fancy anorak (can't remember the brand but I was desperately skint and due to visit a friend in Scotland, and it was fancy enough to sell and cover my fare there and back!)
    3. Beats headphones.
    4. Endless books (mostly from Goodreads) - I haven't needed to set foot in the library all year.
    5. Lots of little baby wins - I'm due this month and comping has saved me a fortune in getting everything ready for them. :)

    This has been a good year I have won pens and koalas and chocolate but my top 5 are:-

    1) Tickets to a WW1 poetry reading with Dominic West and Damian Lewis (it was so good I cried).
    2) £4110 ITV win
    3) Week in Abu Dhabi (technically won last year but went this year)
    4) £1000 John Lewis vouchers
    5) Nails Inc set 6 summer nail polishes, just before I went on summer holiday.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • Hi Moneybot
    I wonder if you could please help me with a query I just posted about an ITV win, as I just noticed you had one this year
    Many Thanks
  • I have only had one win this year, but it was certainly worth the wait! I won a holiday to Doha in Qatar, which includes flights, hotel, spending money, a night at a jazz club, dinner in a Gordon Ramsey restaurant, and best of all, my very own butler service. My beloved and I are going in the new year. Thanks to all the wonderful people who post comps and keep this forum going. You're all stars!
