Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker
edited 15 June 2017 at 4:30AM in I won! I won! I won!
Well, after not comping for well over a year after it becoming a bit of an obsession, I decided I would enter the odd comp here and there, but just for prizes that I really wanted and that were really (in my opinion) worth winning. I have probably only spent about 2 hours entering comps and then I broke the screen on my laptop so it has been out of action for a few days. Got the screen fixed today and guess what? Yup, I have won an amazing week in a villa in Italy. Flights are not included, but I knew that when I entered and I will probably drive down anyway. I am absolutely thrilled with the prize.

I have searched and searched the boards for the original comp post, but I can't find it anywhere. I am so grateful to whoever posted it though. No idea when I am going to take the trip or if I will take friends or family, but I am so excited.
2017 wins = £1350
2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
2015 wins = £6,460
2014 wins = £1,350

    Well done! :D
    Have an amazing time, it sounds great :)

    The reason you can't find the original comp post on here is because it was removed. If you google "win Italian villa" then the top 2 results should both be MSE listings for the comp. It was first posted on 25th May, but removed and then it was posted about in Compers Chat Corner a week ago as well, which was also removed. I can't get the google cache, but if you/someone can, then you may be able to see why it was removed....self promotion maybe?

    I googled it too and found that the link had been removed and did wonder why. Whatever the reason, I am not complaining, I am chuffed to bits :) x
