Hi Guys


I've been lurking on here for the past year and I decided to become more involved.


Comping has literally changed my life!


A few years ago I lost my nan to cancer and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. As a way of coping I racked up the debt on my credit card to make myself feel better.


I decided I needed sort myself out and stumbled across this forum. I started entering competitions and doing surveys etc.


I really enjoy entering comps and it helps distract from the pain of Fibro. I never expected to win but I won quite a bit. My biggest win was £1000 from Capital FM. This helped me pay off a chunk of my debt.


I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posts. You guys have helped me so much and I'm proud to be part of this forum.
