    Before may this year I only did the odd big comp, but then I started doing much more . I wond £1k cash, a hot tub worth £400, track day worth £400, tent worth £350 and a £50 cinema voucher. I’m pretty please with that! :) I very roughly worked out that comping this year has “paid” around £10 an hour! Lol.
    You can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes, well, you just might find.. you get what you need.

    I think this may have been my worse year but I've won 33 competitions this year, not including the Quidco and Topcashback and won around £1200 worth of items. Including a small holiday which we couldn't attend due to an ill pet.

    My Christmas was spent ill as well so I'm hoping I'm better for the new year and hoping 2020 is a better comping year. Looking forward to joining the [URL="https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6071520challenge[/URL] again for 2020 as I completed 48 of the 55 tasks off it this year, it is great fun and keeps me comping!
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Absolutely zero. I am fairly discerning about what I enter, but even still, starting to get a bit disheartened.

    Pretty uneventful year.
    The most interesting was a flight voucher that I ended up not being able to use because, when it arrived, the T&Cs had blackout dates of pretty much every date I could travel during the VERY SHORT period it was valid.
    2020: Unusable return flight vouchers (2 different times!), £50 hamper voucher.
    BREAK
    2022: £250 clothing voucher. Honeybuns cakes. Headphones. 3mo supply of corn snacks. Christmas jumper. Plantain chips. CBD skincare.
    BREAK
    2025: Sophie Allport £500, Penelope Chilvers £300, RHS Flower Show tix

    Was a second disappointing year. Did win a lovely Forest holiday worth about £600 and a caravan short break but nothing else worth mentioning.
    Must admit the less I win the less comps I probably enter though so vicious circle!
    Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media


    Best Win of 2019 - Forest Holiday :)

    Mine was absolutely dire.
    I've just looked back over all the monthly posts in IWIWIW and my year consisted of:
    £1.10 from a Quidco game
    £3.30 from various Topcashback Hummingbird games
    £30 cheque from Life Death Prizes
    and a little cat tunnel from the advents.
    What a rubbish year. 7 out of the 12 months I won absolutely zilch!
