Newbie to Comping - WIN!!!128558;

Hope you veterans of the comping world won’t hate me for this....

A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of spare time and read the advice given on here about postal entries for competitions.

With no expectations of success whatever I sent off 4 entries to ITV postal cash draws.

Got a phone call on Valentines Day.....I was gobsmacked to be told I have won a large cash sum!!!

I’d be embarrassed to say how much but it’s in the 5 figures.

So I just wanted to share my news and say it is possible to win at your first try and yes postal entries can be winners.

Wishing all of you some of my incredible luck

In my case no skill involved I only had to send my name and phone number!

    Lol....yes and my close friends and family have all rushed out to buy a stock of postcards!!!128512;

    I guess sometimes the universe does reward action.

    I couldn’t help feeling a little guilty too though. Some treats will be given to my loved ones to spread my good luck, which in itself is a whole extra pleasure.
