    I won a set of garden tools, £100 bulbs, and 2 pairs of muck boots, as 1 prize in October last year.........I'm still waiting for them. The woman I keep hassling has the garden tools in her office. one excuse she told me was due to the prize distribution centre saying they were too heavy for them to send out!!! Yesterday the person sending the muck boots contacted me & said I should have them in the next two weeks.
    Hasn't put me off and I've been very lucky since.

    My very first win was tickets to see Chicago in London, hotel accomodation inc B&B and £100 for a meal. :D

    I remember I was over the moon as I had only been comping for a month or two.

    My mum done even better, she won a £5000.00 trolley dash with Woolworths after only 3 weeks of entering comps.
  • My first win was £60 worth of Cheese - and very nice it was too :D

    My first win was a hidious scented candle set. I really had no idea what it looked like otherwise I'd never've entered the comp, think I got it mixed up with those massive luxury scented candles and I was planning on giving it to my sister for her birthday :o My second win was (from the same site) a tiny little chocolate ladybird, I imagined it would be as big as a medium easter egg :eek:

    Mine was a platinum Aerobed - it's still in its box because I'm afraid if I take it out I'll never get it back in again!
