    I won a spa overnight stay at Ragdale Hall in their advent. I was entering for the soft toy to put in the operation children Christmas box and didn't realise there was a main prize. It was so lovely!
    Also won a tea set from whittards advent, which I donated to a Macmillan coffee morning raffle.

    Best I've done is £100 of Morrisons vouchers last year.
    I don't do very well with them tbh, but some people seem to win all the time. I think this year for FB, I will take a pic of my pooch wearing a daft Christmas hat and post it on every advert I see on there. Mainly 'cos I can't be !!!!!d (and my conscience won't allow it ;) ) with writing sob stories.
    You have all been warned.......MUHAHAHHAH :rotfl::rotfl:
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j
  • I HATE THE ADVENTS!!!!!!

    First 2 or 3 years of comping I spent hours doing them religiously and won a big fat nothing!

    So now it's very hit and miss if I do any. However last year I did do a few that tickled my fancy and won the following.....

    Krispy Kreme Gold Card (24 krispy Kremes a month for a year) *
    £ 200 Toys R Us voucher
    In the Nightgarden calendar
    £ 25 W.H. Smith Voucher

    So that made me feel a bit better about advents :D

    * I actually don't like Krispy Kremes but my sons girlfriend was overjoyed :j we got 4 out of the 12 lots and then she borrowed my card and lost it :( So a bit of a wasted prize really :rotfl:

    Good Luck to everyone who loves them :beer:
  • Won a baby package on pushchair trader advent about five years ago which included the travel system, baby rocking chair and high chair worth over £1,200.00 which was my biggest win on adverts

    I've only won one thing on the advents in 5 years of doing them and that was a £100 clothing voucher (to a store I can't remember the name of. Haha.) I used to do them religiously but now I have two young kids and a chronic illness so I'm just going to do whichever ones take my fancy this year. :)
    2019 Wins
    1/25

    £2019 in 2019
    £10/£2019
  • I once won a full makeover in London but I couldn't go, and it was for women (which I'm not)
  • I can't wait for the advents, they get me feeling really festive. I don't always have the best of luck with them but find I have better luck with some of the form filling ones as people focus on advents so other comps get neglected. I did win a gorgeous hamper last year though, filled with deliciousy Christmas bits which I shared with the family.
    Sometimes you just have to throw on a crown and remind them who they are dealing with
  • Last year was my first advents and I won a huge teddy from hamleys and a bundle of 30 childrens books
