Just thinking while I was in the bath that my most used win is my Ipod Shuffle, won from the Pirelli Comp last year. My best would have to be the £100 HMV gift card I won from the Independent christmas giveaway. 
What are yours?

The Nintendo Wii i won last year - my children really wanted one for Christmas, but knew i couldnt afford one. I was so excited when i won it, and how i kept it from them until Christmas day, i will never know.
I gave it to them after Christmas lunch, and i will never forget their faces when they realised that we had one, and they were so appricative it meant all the hours i spend here entering comps i never win worth while.0 -
I think my best win would be the night dinner bed and breakfast at a boutique hotel in edinburgh. Though a close second would be the merlin annual pass that I won and they sent me the cash instead:DWeight Loss - 102lb0

Best has to be one from last year for a chocolate factory tour and tasting. We had a blast there, and got to sample loads of goodies and fortunately for us it was scheduled just before we went on holiday, so was a great way to kick it off.
Most used has to be my veggie box! It's a win from this year and we've been getting it every week for about 2 months now, and it's helped save us loads of money, as well as helped to expand our diet.
Total to date - £309.15

Most used, The leather suite I bought on the shopping spree

My best and my most used win would be a Fiat Stilo I won before I started seriously comping. It was just a one off entry I did in an Ebay competition. It couldn't have come at a better time as both our cars were on their last legs (or is that wheels
). I gave it to my husband and he uses it every day to go to work, so it is well used
