    Been pretty lucky over the years so can't complain , however as most people, have not won a car or Tech Pakage , or Three Piece Suite. These are on my wish list for this year but don't hold out much hope.

    I've been comping for around 10 years and despite driving myself bonkers each December trying to keep up with the advents - I've never won from an advent competition!

    Organising bookmarks and the annual dose of RSI is hopefully going to pay off one Christmas! :D

  • I have never won an iPad. I don't even want a iPad. I just want to win one so I can say I have won one! I must enter hundreds of iPad comps every year.

    And a holiday. They have also eluded me. And a radio competition.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    Never won a 'big' prize on any of the comps on here, but did win a tech pack with LDC a couple of years ago, which had a Vodafone phone, tablet, top up vouchers - punted the lot of them.
    Been comping for about 15 years, but only the last 5/6 on here.
    Biggest win ever was a Med Cruise about 13 years ago on Radio Clyde(Glasgow radio station), it was the star prize from all the calls to enter the comp over the 5 days. Was fab
    My mum won £10k on Take A Break last year and for someone who doesn't have a lot, allowed her to take a trip of a lifetime to New York, Washington etc, still waiting for something out of it, lol!!!
    Thanks to all the competition posters.

    Comping since 1987, I did win two cars back in the early nineties, within 5 years of each other, but am still striving for the fish slice. Despite a couple of European hols, never won a long haul and would REALLY like to win a holiday to Australia for daughter's honeymoon next year or one for me to indulge the carnivore within on steaks in Texas. Never won a telescope, convinced the TRUTH is out there...
