2015 - comping aims

1356

Comments

  • Anything over £100.

    I re-started comping in October 2014 after a 18 month break so have only won a handful of items coming to a total of less than £100 all in so one prize that is worth over £100 would be great. Then again I am hoping to get a new job soon so comping might have to take a back seat again, but we shall see.
    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:

    I wouldn't mind a bigger screen telly, but the 32" one I won is still perfectly ok (won in 2008) so if I don't win one it doesn't matter. Apart from that, I don't have any real comping aims in regards to winning big things, if it happens, it happens.
    TBH, I don't mind what I win, and as long as I win at least one thing a month, I'll be quite happy.
    Be Lucky
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j
  • I didn't comp much this year as when I was online of an evening I tended to spend my time elsewhere. So the aim is to try and arrange my time better so I have time to do a little bit of everything rather than spending lots of time with one hobby and neglecting the rest. We also had to come home early from a holiday and so I'd like to win some cash to go towards a return visit to finish the job or alternatively a straight up holiday win! :D

    I don't have any particular prizes in mind to win during 2015 - any wins are always a bonus! Often finding out I have won a pretty scarf in my favourite colour or a cute bird cushion to add to my throw cushion collection makes me jump for joy :) I just wish for some luck in 2015. I had a good 2014 so hopefully this new year will be just as good or better :)good-luck-cat-smiley-emoticon.png

    Is there a thread for 2015 challenges?

    I would like to win on a postal entry, that's my goal really... the elusive win that I am still chasing.
    Wishing you all good luck!

  • I'd love to win anything that gets me out of the house, from a restaurant dinner or a holiday - my partner is job searching at the moment and I can't keep paying for both whenever we do anything!
