    My first win was from here last March/April, it was a goodie bag of 'Normandie' products from Vogue.com worth £70. I'd been comping for about a month.

    My best wins have been a year's gym membership worth over £300 this year and a year's supply of pizza last year (they work well together!!) :)

    I've been comping on MSE on and off for year or so but more seriously so in the last few months. My first win on here was £25 worth of Babylicious food which was 3-4 weeks ago. My biggest win was a car a few years ago, that was from a magazine.

    I'm still waiting for my laptop win (and it better hurry up as it's my DD's birthday in two weeks and it's all she wants :rolleyes: )

    Good luck!!

  • My first win was a Rough Guide about a week after I started entering competitions and it really spurred me on. In the following 10 months, I've won a chef coming to the house to cook for me and 3 friends, a laptop, a haircut and pedicure at a top London salon and £500 worth of Dualit kitchen equipment including a DAB radio which I love. Next week we're off for a free meal at a smart Soho restaurant, including wine! I've had lots of other smaller things like theatre, show and gig tickets, dvds, cds and loads of lovely stuff from the Glamour competition (thanks so much to Newmommyjen).

    The nice thing is I never know what I'm going to get so it's always a real treat because we get to do things we wouldn't normally do (like go to invitation-only gigs or see films before they come out) and can share them with my family and friends. Just keep going and you'll do well, too! Good luck!

    My first wins were quite a few years ago, a new magazine called Eva was launched and there was alot of competitions, I entered all of them, a few weeks later I received a Hamper full of goodies, a childs scooter, loads of sun lotion and I think it was 10 various videos, don't think may people had entered :D

    Biggest win was a holiday to Vegas, I won it through AOL, the only good thing about them :rotfl:

    Good luck hope you have lots of wins soon

    I had to comp non-stop for about 6 weeks before I won anything... and the first thing I won was a pack of pencils worth about a fiver!

    I'm still pretty new to this though, and so far my biggest win has been a Senseo coffee machine worth £50, which I got a couple of weeks ago.

    My first win came 1 month after entering competitions: iPod Nano
    My best win came 1 month later: 40" HDTV with PS3 and about £150 worth of games.
    My most useful win came 2 months later: a Packard Bell computer worth £999

    With such great wins in such a short space of time, I am totally hooked!

    My advice is to enter as many as you can and then some, and NEVER give up!
    Good luck everyone!
