    Eighth Anniversary
    A £2000 prize package with Magic FM which included a spa break in London, a 5* City break of my choice (I chose York and will be going over Valentines weekend) and £800 Love2shop vouchers. The vouchers came in so handy for Xmas!

    A week later I won £1000 John Lewis vouchers with Heart FM, I've had a great year to be fair. Went to the BAFTA's and had a weekend in London, and also got a BAFTA goody bag worth £500. And won £500 John Lewis vouchers in a seperate comp. Then inbetween I've won at least 30 smaller prizes (ranging from £10 - £100 in value).

    Here's looking forward to an equally successful 2016 :)

    Nothing so far but fingers crossed for an advent win at least
  • £200 from Bella magazine :) My other best was a £200 Cath Kidston hamper. I haven't had any other wins worth more than £200, but I'm quite happy all the same, and there's time yet!
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    I had a very very quiet year with hardly any wins, but i did manage to win £1000 cash in October. Still thinking what to spend it on!

    Depends really, I would say the designer bag and purse(about £600) Gave it to my mum to cheer her up...I may have borrowed it once or twice though! but I know my Goddaughter would say the Disney junior goody box (about £90 of Disney princess products) My sister would say the Nestle toy cow and my Ben and Jerry's T-shirt (which she claims she doesn't have but I've seen her in it!)
    I have enjoyed the most the Books I have won , especially Beside Myself by Ann Morgan. Reading is one of my favourite past times but buying new books is a bit of a luxury at the moment I cannot splurge on, so they are my most favourite win. And as I said a nice few treats for others I would have been in a position to buy :)Have had a nice few treats since I started in January :) Good luck for 2016 guys!

    Up until about 2 weeks ago, I'd had a very poor year and my biggest win was £80 of John Lewis vouchers back in April. But I've had two really good wins lately: £2,000 cash from Rock FM and £200 Love2Shop vouchers from Mumsnet, so I'm very happy with those two. The Rock FM win was not only my best this year but my best ever! :D
  • £200 from tv choice. It meant my daughter could have a birthday party this year :D
