    £100 Dorchester Collection voucher

    I won it in an instant win on Christmas Day! :)

    It's the only thing I've won on the advents and it's the joint most expensive prize I've ever won at all!

    I won a huge box of MUA make up and a leather and steel wine cooler last year, each worth about £150 (allegedly), plus a bottle of Perfume.

    I won a £100 La Senza voucher in one of their Facebook advents a few years back... this came a few days after winning a £30 voucher in the same advent!

    I've traditionally not won much at all on advents - usually only 1 or 2 prizes and of v low value - however last year I did win a set of new tyres on the KwikFit advent which I was very pleased about :D

    2 years ago I won a carbon fibre patio heater thing (the one that was on Dragons den, where you could touch it and spray water on it and it was fine) ... at the time I didn't have an outdoor space though so sold it for £150 to a mate (the RRP on it was around £500).

    Didn't win a thing in last years advents, so try not to get too excited about it :) ... although there are a lot more comps, it's definately not a "prize bonanza".
