    Still not won anything since I said I'd join in, and that was mid-September. :(

    Don't worry Zanzib, it's been very quiet as lots of companies have a lull before advents.

    Loads of luck

    Don’t know if it technically counts because it was a raffle, but my daughter desperately wants LEGO Boost for Christmas. The day after she mentioned it, it was top raffle prize at a local fair, bought 3 strips of tickets at £1 each and won!
    It’s £150, so even though I paid to play, it’s a good result, I think!
    Started comping May 2014- 26 wins so far.
    Best wins
    Baby swimming kit, Kindle Fire HD, VIP Disney on Ice tix, £75 Love2shop vouchers,
    November wins
    baby snack hamper, Capital One football, deodorant
    COMPING GOAL - 50 prizes in 12 months 26/50
  • I've won a £100 John Lewis voucher and a £50 Debenhams voucher, which I'm using to buy some gifts for folk.

    A book on London gangs for my boyfriend (he loves that kinda thing!)

    And I won 3 bottles of wine in a work raffle yesterday, it's nice wine so I'll be giving them as gifts.

    Fingers crossed I can tick a few of these off as there are just so many!!



    I have made zero progress. Haha. I've only won one present since then, and that was Halloween play prompts and a box of oat biscuit snacks for DD, so not suitable for any Xmas presents. lol


    Oh well, keep on plodding on.

  • Horrifically late (as usual), but I'd love to join in.

    We have two young daughters to buy for (aged 2 & 5), so anything pink, anything My Little Pony or anything small and plastic that looks like it could end up blocking my hoover would be great.

    I'd also like to win;
    Some sweets or chocolate for my husband.

    Some bits and bobs that I can wrap for the girl's friends

    And some yummy food (or vouchers to buy yummy food) that I wouldn't normally buy because I'm too tight.
  • I've just started comping after a 2 yr break & it seems a lot harder. I used to win something pretty much everyday especially on Twitter but in the last month not a sausage. I'm just hoping I do better in the advents, I've only done them once before but did quite well back then. Fingers crossed.
