    My best and biggest win of 2016 was £300 to spend in a Cath Kidston store. They were brilliant and bought me champagne and chocolates as well.

    Good luck, all for 2017!
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.
  • It wasn't the best in terms of monetary value, but my Jet2 win of free flights spurred me and my mum to finally book a holiday away just the two of us, which we've talked about for a while. We are going in June and both so excited.
    In terms of financial value it was probably my Raleigh bike and one for my daughter which we are still waiting for.
    Overall I had a good year, can't complain.
  • My favourite win of 2016 was a lovely (and expensive) solid walnut chest with 9 drawers. I'm mad about wood anyway, and it just looks so lovely in my lounge, but I wouldn't be able to justify buying it. The perfect win for me. :D
    Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T

    My highest value win was a £500 carpet right voucher but my favourite wins were days out - a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads and family tickets to Cbeebies Land/Alton Towers - both lovely trips with the kids which we wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise.
    Comping since 2014!

    My wins were well down on previous years in 2016. In terms of value the best was a pair of 18ct gold diamond earrings. The one I enjoyed the most was a pair of tickets to the WFC v Man Utd game - and the 3-1 victory was the cherry on top :D

    My best ( in value terms and pleasure) was winning £2000 from local radio station (Bauer network). Proved that reloading and refilling the forms with my details was worth it.
    We used the money to redecorate our bedroom that hadn't been done for about 20 years.
  • My most enjoyable win was tickets to the Malvern flower show. Not a valuable prize but a lovely day out.
