    So many posts to catch up on :)

    Well Done everyone on your wins so far :T

    I wasn't expecting any wins this month, as took a Comping break half way through Advents, and haven't really come back to it yet :( I've lost my comping mojo :(

    But, despite this, I had a win, and its a good one :j Had an email from Vauxhall to say that the winner of a comp they'd run had not responded to their emails, so they had redrawn me as the winner :)

    Got the email on Friday, prize arrived Wednesday, and its a big bundle: -

    A Giant Wicker Hamper containing:

    Signed Wales Football Shirt - signed by full Welsh Squad including Gareth Bale :)

    Tickets to a Wales Home Game

    A Wales FA Hat and Scarf

    A box of Thorntons

    A Teddy Bear

    A Keyring, A Notebook, A Swim Bag, A Thermal Mug

    I have no idea what to claim this one as, what do folks reckon would be the hardest challenge to tick off? Over 5 items, Something rhyming with TAT or something else completely?

    I can't decide....

    I can't decide....

    Tickets to an event
    A signed item
    A hamper of more than 5 items
    I would check how many entries the comp had and go for a comp with over 10 K entries

    Lots of options

    Well done :T

    Oh I nearly had "Win a comp posted by one of the challengers" but Mrs Bot posted what was in the hamper not the actual comp ;)

    Still plenty of choices though :D

    I can't quote you :( everything goes massive and can't see it probably whenever I try :(

    I didn't even know Mrs Bot had posted on the comp thread, only just found it :)

    I think I might go for Over 5 items :)

    I'm already waiting on a ticket win from an advent, so I'll use that for tickets, and a signed item should be fairly easy via goodreads - they have loads of signed books that they give away - or are we not allowed to count goodreads since they are not posted on MSE?

    My screen goes massive with a long slider bar at the bottom too when I quote, others have mentioned it too :(

    Goodreads are on MSE ;)

    In that case i`ve won a xbox game on a Facebook group :D

    Thought my luck was over after the tangle teezer incident which i`m still trying to get, unfortunately the customer service is not that great :(.

    Anyway, glad i`m off out of the blocks just got to see where this win fits.
