In the last week, I've been really interested in some of the prizes or things on their websites.
I mean I know that is the reason they do competitions, but I've never been drawn in so much.
I saw Ghost ship had low alcohol products and wanted to try some and mmm some of the best I've ever had!
And I was looking for some more Harem pants and I saw they were a decent price and help Elephants on Boho Tusk.
Luckily they are items I was already on the look out or wanted, so not really a waste.
Thank you to those who post. 😁

I entered an Omlet comp from here and didn't win but bought this Egg Skelter from their email to say I hadn't won but offered me a code for 20% off. It is on sale at half price and I thought it would be a nice way to store my eggs

I buy Buxton water anyway but noticed they had a comp for £250 voucher for virgin experience days. Thankfully I won on my first purchase. Off to Stratford upon Avon next week with it 😀5

I've been meaning to make a post about this for sometime! As I'm always spending money because of this hobby! This is why I don't understand why some companies/bloggers don't like compers as we are also big consumers.
Anyways in the summer I got stung big time, I posted a comp from Muddy Stilettos on here to see Elbow at the Hampton Court Festival. Now I didn't have any interest in Elbow and before seeing that comp I had no idea Hampton Court had a music festival. I googled more about the festival and saw that Kacey Musgraves (who I love!) was playing. I mentioned it to my friend at work who also loves her and that day we booked tickets. It was pricey but so worth it, I had a great time. I would recommend it, it is such a unique venue.
But I've also brought things as gifts that I've thought have looked cool but didn't win - Horror Hot sauces, Little Butterfly London Sets, Cake Cards (these go down well!), Filbert's Nuts.Also found the clothing brand Little Mistress on IG when I was looking for comps, got some nice dresses from them. (No idea why this has gone bold!)
I've just spend £15 on buying a panoramic photo frame so I can frame the signed Lightyear poster I won.
And the pots I brought so I could grow the Japanese Vegetables I won.
Basically a big advert this site!

Several years ago, I won a Warners Leisure break. We decided to go to Bodelwyddan Castle, in North Wales.
We enjoyed it so much, we have booked quite a few times since then and always enjoyed ourselves.2
