I desperately want to win...

Options
Hi, I was wondering whether anyone has had any success in winning the items they desperately want to win? Or is it that when you want it too much it just doesn't happen?

This year I'd particularly like to win a new phone (any brand).
Also, id like a new car - but we'll forget about that because that is me really just dreaming,

What would you desperately like to win?

    I'm desperate for a new telly and a holiday - I've only been comping for a month though so I'm not getting disheartened. Good luck on getting a phone and car

    2016: Makeover day, cookbook (x2), soup, diesel perfume, lazy days food bundle, Holland and Barrett hamper, nme award tickets x2, mug, soup and a mug, wok, blood pressure monitor, dog goodies, Elizabeth Shaw chocolates
    Wishlist: Fitbit, Make-up, smart tv, cds & dvds, holiday
  • Good luck too. Like you, I've only been comping properly for month. I entered a few comps In the past to win a car but I made the newbie mistake of entering on the sites that just spam you. I did see a comp for a car on here but I couldn't enter as my sister works for that company so in T and C I was ruled out.
    I'll stick to the smaller wins and hope that one day a phone arrives in my letterbox!

    When the Wii fit came out I was determined to win one.. took me 2 years but I did it.
  • I would love to win a washing machine and a nice family holiday UK or abroad xx
  • Gizmobenny,that gives me hope!
    Hazel, Good luck on holiday and washing machine.

    Actually, come to think of it, I'd quite like a tumble dryer. :)
  • A trip to New York is at the top of my list at the moment!!! I am keeping everything crossed.

    I've won quite a few things that I've wanted in the past such as Benefit Makeup, perfume, a bottle of posh gin and a food hamper just before Christmas.
  • I decided to win a PS4 rather than buy one........and I did :D
  • I would quite like to win a voucher for somewhere that I would have no guilt spending and having a shop fest for myself (John Lewis would be right up there!!)

    I won £500 last week on a master card (which was amazing!)but there was no way I would or could just spend it on myself, especially as we are trying to plan a holiday and the my girls dance and piano fees are due in!!

    That being said I did treat myself to a Fitbit and tried really hard to do it guilt free when I parted with the cash!! :)
  • I really wanted to win a PS4...I didn't. But, I won the money to buy one! :)

    So, now I'm hoping to win a tablet of some kind and may be a break away.
  • I desperately want to win some cash to throw at my mortgage or, failing that, a new cooker or a new oven as both of those items are broken but still just about useable.

    When I first started comping, I used to enter pretty much every comp which caught my eye and had a few wins of DVDs and records. Now I only enter ones for things I really want.
