It is only looking at my poor neglected "wins" doc on my desktop that has made me realise how long I have neglected comping for- I have barely comped all year! I did switch comping strategy though so will have mainly been entering high entry comps. This year I have won:
1. Hunger Games DVD that was a total mystery, had not entered for it or any comp that had it as a runners up prize etc. Mustn't grumble though!
2. Irn Bru lucky socks x2. My hubby was exceptionally pleased with these and did in fact wear them to the Commonwealth Games but I have since shrunk them in the dryer and they are now teddy bear sized
3. Malteser Easter bunny. This is technically No 1 as I LOVE these.
4. Boost drink (was an... interesting experience)
5. £20 spa voucher.
I can't believe I have gone the whole year without any more wins than this- time sure does fly! I spent most of the year online researching a big trip we were taking to celebrate a few special occasions that occurred this year but sadly we had to come back after a week due to an emergency- all good now thankfully but it means I shouldn't have wasted my time and should have comped instead! Ah well, onwards and upwards for 2015... :T0 -
1. A £1000 holiday gift card - we had an amazing few days in Dubai at the end of November
2. An iPad Mini
3. Loads of Nectar points which I exchanged for a Dyson
4. A £200 coat which arrived just in time for winter and I've worn loads already
5. Some walking shoes, my others were falling to bits, me and the dog walk a lot!
No pen sadly!
