  • I love hearing these winner stories, keep them coming :T
    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 :)

    I shouldn't laugh but how funny. They say things come in threes so hopefully thats the end of your foodie wins for now :rotfl:I'd like to assume you haven't been comping years and years to just win 3 food items :o

    Yes, only been comping for a couple of months :D

    The cereal is actually pretty nice but is really expensive so I won't be buying it. As for the porridge, yuk, I've given it to my dad!
    :eek: - Just because I love this emoticon!

    Eighth Anniversary
    The first prize I ever won was the first competition I ever entered! It was way back in 1994 when I was 21 and more interested in partying than I was entering comps but one morning I was listening to Atlantic 252 in my bedroom whilst getting ready for work and there was a comp to win a trip to Florida.

    I rang straight away and got through, and I won that day's prize - a movie goody bag. But all prizewinners that week were placed into a big draw on the Friday to win a trip to Florida and they picked my name!!

    To be honest, it was winning this that got me into comping in a big way - I hadn't really taken much notice before but it soon became by hobby and I've been entering comps ever since :)

    Seventh Anniversary Combo Breaker
    My first win were tickets to a show I couldn't make, so I asked them to re draw.
    It was about a month after I started.
