    Well done ms_Dee, you're doing well this month for wins.  Postie brought me one of those packs too.  

    thanks to @One-Eye as it was one of their posts.  Search doesn't find it from url as it's concealed under the name of the website in the post.  Found it by searching for Weleda prickly pear cactus.  
    Thanks for confirming! And congratulations too, nice little bundle @bluesooz

    Well done @lucinad on joining the club! I'm surprised you of all people can't fit it in your list! :lol:

    Two of my wins arrived this morning, one through the letter box (beautifully packaged earrings) but then parcel force turned up with a big box for me, I thought oooh what is it... thought it must have been something my partner ordered or a win, but I was only waiting on the popcorn maker or muslins and baby products, so it was either that or something else, exciting! 
    He handed it over and I thought it was empty by the weight of it...
    It was the blu-ray I had won - I mean I'm not complaining, but they couldn't find an envelope or smaller box?! and wasn't expecting it to come via parcel force. But thankies anyway prize givers, I appreciate it as always, just don't get my hopes up like that again :lol:
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    And I have won 10p on the Humming Bird already :) 

    I've won 8 Crystal Maze Live Experience tickets, I've valued them at £480, I'm not far off that £2021 total now! Also crossed this off for the summer challenge as a day out, even though I am not planning to go until January. 

    September is looking up! 
    Wins in 2023 - 35
    Wins in 2022 - 43
    Wins in 2021 - 62

    Hi Guys! I used to comp loads a couple years back, but life got very busy etc. Anyway, I started picking it up again properly last week and trying really hard to make my way through them all on the forum.

    There seem to be lot less of us around now, and fewer comps too. Are you guys also finding it harder to win things? I see that the number of entries on FB/TW/IG comps has increased massively.

    Hope you're all keeping well x
    February wins: Theatre tickets

    Hi @euronorris, the forum was doing really well, but then they updated the site and certain features were no longer here, some people didn't feel listened too, they didn't like the new design, the search function has only just started to seem more usable, it has taken it's time to get back to a good site for some, but by then everyone seem to have left. Especially the big posters. 

    This is actually my best month for competition wins, which is at 12 competitions so far. But two were from purchases (Fanta bottle and Maltesters) I think 3 of them was only from social media, but so many people are entering now a days, but definitely worth entering.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Hi @Ms_Dee . Yes, the forum changes were really not great, and very unpopular.

    Ooohhh well done on your competition wins! I have entered the odd one here and there when I wasn't 'seriously' comping and managed to win a jigsaw for my daughter last month from the Kipling instant win. Fingers crossed for the next 30 days :)

    I've finally caught up on all of the comps (!!). I wanted to add some from Nat Geo Kids, which I am certain I did  not see any of whilst going through the comps listed on MSE. However, I always like to double check by doing a search but I cannot fathom how to work the search function effectively now. Any hints?

    Happy October!

    Well done!

    We need more people posting, so thank you for considering it.
    I find it is best to find the most unique word from the prize or competition link, so Geo might be a good one, then select Discussions, then down the right hand side, select 'Competition Time' from the category and untick 'polls' click Filter and search by Newest. If you are going to search a lot, leave a window open with all those settings on and then just change the search word.


    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
