    I think my first win was a capital one football after around 2 weeks of comping.

    a frisbee on the boost instant win many years ago. I'd been comping for a few weeks then. It was in the days of forum members compiling lists of comps that ended the next day
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Back in pre interwebs days or 1994 ish I paid a bill at the post office and got a scratch card. I won a £20 marks and spencers voucher. It took around 6 months for the PO to actually send me the voucher, by which time I had written it off in my mind as a con and forgotten all about it.

    Anyway when it did turn up I was so terribly excited and could not decide what to spend it on, after all 20 quid doesn't get you much in m and s.
    Ended up walking to the nearest m and s with the kids and buying food.

    This is in the days we lived off netto food, so was nice that for 3 days we had nice food. :D
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    a pair of flip flops.. they where pretty comfy flipflops.
  • My first win was a packet of Thorntons popcorn a couple of weeks after I started. You'll see from my sig that I've only won food stuff and to be honest I probably wouldn't enter the other two comps I won from now, it was beginners enthusiasm!

    I'm still waiting for a decent win but entering and keeping everything crossed. In it to win it and all that :)
    :eek: - Just because I love this emoticon!
