First win for daughter of BIG comper

Posts: 3 Newbie
Growing up my Mum was a very keen comper. We won many holidays, cars, caravans, trips on Concorde, white goods, toys - the list was endless, but needless to say I went to places and saw and did things that would never have been possible had my Mum not been a comper.
Things have changed now - back then it was a lot about slogans and collecting receipts and packets, whereas now people seem to do hundreds of comps online. Money is tight for me and my family at the moment, and so I used a few weeks off work to enter some competitions - lots of them! I was disheartened at no results, and also had to go back to work, so I have stopped. Yesterday though I got my first win- 2 tickets to the golf at St Andrews. My other half and father in law are golf obsessed so they are over the moon - as am I and it has spurred me on to do more. I don't want to be working today, I want to be comping!::

That's a lovely story. I don't have time much these days for comping . But when I do it distracts me even if it doesn't solve my problem.
