    In 2012 I won a three day trip to China, & went this time last year. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! We extended it to spend a week in Beijing & it was incredible.

    Then late last year I won a £250 voucher for The Little Domain, so we booked a long weekend in the Cotswolds which we took last month.

    On the hit list is definitely a New York win!
    Best 2013 win - £2k trip to China!
    Best 2014 win - £250 holiday cottage voucher & £50 toiletries!
    2015 wins - Fitbit Flex, Perfume & aftershave, Skincare, shoes, iPhone 6S case, £200 That's Life Cheque!
    2016 wins - £1000 Smooth FM!
    2017 wins - £1285 minimoon! Holiday to Nevada!

    When I first started comping I had a couple of holiday wins, nothing big, but still really appreciated. One was to Haven for 4 nights. We could choose any one we wanted so went to Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk. The other holiday was in an apartment in Dartmouth with Coast and Country (if I remember correctly). My children's school would allow them to take 1 day off school to go so the company rearranged our stay to coincide with the October half term, which they didn't need to. :T

    I'm entering holiday comps at the moment as we're just about to buy a house so we won't have any spare money for a holiday this year. Fingers crossed :dance:
