    Self catering break to Mull ( it rained )

    Worst is a case of Blue Nun wine, it is horrible.

    £3k of gym equipment
    2 night stay at St Davids Hotel, Cardiff (worth approx £800)
    Cambridge Speaker (worth £100)
    Tickets to the Rugby WC Semi Final (worth £500 each)
    £100 Zizzi voucher

    These are what spring to mind, probably more if I really search my emails!

    My main aim is a holiday somewhere, I did win an all expenses paid 5* trip to Amsterdam with Heineken a couple of years ago but nothing since then.
  • My best was £200 from Bella magazine. First time I've ever won money and I was stupidly excited, even though its not a huge amount, it was very good for me! :)
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
  • My best win was £200 from TV choice. It paid for the birthday party my daughter has asked for, for a long time

    My highlight was a day at Champneys Spa. I took my daughter and it was good to spend some quality time together. If I had hundreds of pounds to spend, there would always be something more pressing to spend it on, such as repairs to the car or the house, but it was good to be able to enjoy it and build some nice memories without worrying about the cost. I keep entering now to win an overnight stay there too.

    My prize highlight was undoubtedly the £2k I won with a radio station last month, not just the highlight of my year but of my total comping "career" to date! It meant that me and hubby could have some Christmas presents to/from each other, which we'd previously planned not to get as we couldn't afford it, as well as paying for our son to go to Rome with his school next year AND saving the rest towards a family holiday in 2017! Absolutely fantastic :)

    I've won some lovely things this year, but I think my highlight was winning ArcTangent tickets for my husband. It's a rock/metal festival and it's just down the road from us. My husband wanted to go but we couldn't afford the tickets so it meant that he could experience it. :) He was also able to come home every night rather than having to camp. :D


    I also won some Joseph Joseph Cookware which is something that we would never have been able to afford. My husband is the main cook in our house and he says the knives are brilliant! x

  • Some fantastic wins. I had a lot of little wins but my highlights was a vax hoover and £500 voucher for better bathrooms. Needless to say my bathroom now looks amazing :D

    I took a break from April onwards as i was busy helping plan a gala but now back on it. Not won anything through MSE yet but i did win some prizes through my local pub on xmas day.

    Best of luck to us all in 2016 x
