    Just returned from Watford Intu and my Christmas shopping is now done and dusted. Just spent £ 800 in a couple of hours and it didn't cost me a penny :rotfl: I was lucky enough to win a £1000 gift card earlier this year (and I have held onto it :eek: )

    Only thing is ...... husband has asked if I can win one next year :rotfl:

    Good Luck to everybody with your comping wishes :T



    I wouldn't have been able to hold onto that! I would have blown that as soon as I got my paws on it (probably on shoes) I can hold onto cash no problem...gift cards just seem to burn a hole in my pocket.

  • I'd love to win a nice hamper. Something that contains goodies I wouldn't normally buy.

    It would also be amazing to win some toys or anything that makes Christmas a less costly affair :o

    I would love to win a game for my partner, he deserves it after a tough year.
    Would love to win an advent calendar too.

    But with the way my winning is going or shall I say not going at the moment, I'm very doubtful.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    I'd like to win a few things this year, for my daughters.

    Last year I won book tokens for me and a friend- I still have some on mine to spend. Otherwise it was DVD and a paperback book. But that was better than the year before when I got zilch.
  • I'd like to win a hamper for us all before Christmas.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    Wins have been extremely thin on the ground this year so I have literally no prizes that are for Christmas.... I'm not holding my breath to get much before the big day either :( I'm aiming low and hoping just to win *something* in the next few weeks!

    Same. Although last year I did win a good pair of headphones in the advents that arrived before Christmas so I gave them to my sister. And in April this year I won a £200 Lego bundle which I have saved for gifts. It's a bit of fun and It's great to be able to gift extra things to people.
