    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I like my highlight to be something different so I will add Hobbit goodies, my very good friend is hobbit mad and when I gave them to him he was over the moon as you can't buy the stuff I won from the film studio, he has it on show in his sitting room and his hobbit friends were envious. He still talks about it now and it was at the beginning of the year. So for making someone else extremely happy I pick that.....oh and the years worth of wine I won lol
  • I only started comping regularly this year in February, and most of my wins have been small. But I would say my favourite was the set of Baileys Prize for Fiction books (my first win!). I love reading and collecting books, so that was great. :)
    2015 wins: set of Baileys Prize for Fiction shortlist books, 2 books (Goodreads), case of Tornado energy drink, The Incomplete Tim Key book, Spoilt Pig tote bag, British Library exhibition tickets, Pixels Limited Edition Blu Ray
  • My last win of the year was by far my best - any sofa from Next worth up to £2,500 :)

I have had fab wins over the years so cant complain but really hope 2016 is alot luckier

    My best win was a lovely designer handbag and purse but my goddaughter would say the runners the Disney junior goody box, which was about £90 of Disney princess stuff- she was over the moon. Saying that all wins were welcome :)


    Wins did seem to taper off the second half of the year. Cant believe I have been doing this for an entire year, time flies! I am however taking a bit of a "technology holiday"- quitting Social media, online shopping ect so I wont be entering much, certainly in the coming months... giving myself till about May and then I shall see about reconnecting completely or not.
