First ever win (after almost giving up)

Hi everyone, just had my first win - a £10 Premier Stores voucher from their Kit Kat competition. You can't spend it on alcohol worse luck, but it's a decent win!

I have be doing 50+ competitions every day since the beginning of March and had only ever won Espirit vouchers, so I was about to give up. This has spurred me on to keep going!

Thanks to everyone who posts comps.

    Well done, I found it took longer than you for my first, win with a steady trickle since then. Nothing major, but I just like getting parcels, however small.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
