Meet Our Latest Winners!

A few weeks ago I was told I was one of the lucky winners of the co-op/coke competition where you had to txt to win a prize!

The prize was your own name or names printed on Coca Cola bottles!!!

Now my name is very unique and its hard to find ANYWHERE as it is spelt differently!

This was a fab thing to win for me and I won 6 bottles of each of our names as you can see in the picture!

Love my hobby and good luck in the advents peeps!

My month had been... well, pretty slow! I have been winning still but I usually always have a "big win" which hadn't seem to come. Up until last week, I thought my biggest win was going to be the sunglasses I won, RRP £100. Still a really brilliant win and I'm really pleased as I never buy that sort of thing for myself but in recent months I'd tended to have a whopper around halfway through the month...

Then whilst sat at my desk on Friday at work, the phone rings! A courier with 3 huge boxes asking if he could leave the parcels somewhere safe. I knew it'd be a prize! And a whopper of a prize it was. As pictured, a huge bundle of Fisher Price toys - all now stashed away for Christmas for my daughter (3 years old) and other friends children who are younger and can really appreciate them.

I've estimated the toy bundle to be around £250 and I'm mega chuffed with that. Nobody left a note so no idea where the toys came from, wherever they came from though... thank you! :D

I haven't won very much this year, but I'm sure my luck must be about to change in the run up to Xmas! I was really pleased last week to receive a message from Lambrini on Twitter to say I had won a case of lambrini in any flavour I would like from their range. I chose the peach flavour and it arrived earlier this week and is delicious!

It may not be the biggest of prizes but it is the little wins that always keep me going, and are little treats to myself that I wouldn't otherwise have. It will be perfect for sipping on as a wrap my Xmas presents and decorate the tree and of course enter lots of advent competitions!!

I might not be as much of a golf addict as my husband but I do enjoy a game of golf when the weather is fine. Most of all I enjoy sitting in the fresh air being treated like royalty, while some excellent golf is played in front of me. It was a short life competition where the winner would get phoned on the Thursday and had to be free the following weekend. I could not believe my luck when phoned as I had always fancied staying at the Celtic Manor. We arrived early and were given a lift from the hotel car park to the hospitality suite where breakfast was being served. A gentle stroll on to the terrace and we waited in comfort for the players to start arriving on the 18 th green in front of us. Staff came round with Pimms, the players were all on form - we watched in amazement, a superb lunch was followed by more golf. A night in the hotel followed by breakfast really rounded off the weekend. I felt refreshed and could not believe we had only been there for 24 hours. Priceless.

After entering competitions for about a year I finally received an email to tell me I was the winner of a meal for 2 in a top restaurant in London thanks to Hot Dinners.

The meal was three courses and we got a bottle of wine and a cocktail each. The restaurant was amazing, great atmosphere fantastic service and delicious food. It was a fantastic treat for me and my husband and a great way for us to celebrate his birthday in somewhere we wouldn't normally be able to afford to go.

Been comping for a few years now, and have won a few small things which keep the kids busy. But this was one prize that topped the rest as there was something for everyone. And they are certainly going to enjoy having fun as an activity that all the family can do.

Well, what a lovely surprise for the kids...when the delivery man knocked on the door and delivered a huge box! After ripping into the cardboard, tearing off the bubble wrap, and opening the beautiful wicker basket - they discovered a hamper of wonderful baking goodies. Many tubs of decorations, several sets of baking sets, some moldable icing, packets of flour, and so...so...much.

So now the kids can't wait for the Christmas holidays as they want to get baking. Shall we make the gingerbread cookies, or the chocolate gateau first? But many thanks to the Co-operative website for this prize which we are all going to enjoy :)

I hadn't won anything for ages and got a bit disheartened with entering hundreds of comps daily to receive nothing. I had a break for a few months then on a lazy Sunday morning I saw a comp pop up for Hotel Chocolat in the Sunday Times, one prize an hour, a selection of chocolate goodies and a £250.00 gift card to spend online or in store at Hotel Chocolat. So I entered and guess what, I won!!!. The parcel was delivered whilst I was on holiday, what a lovely welcoming home gift. Of course I am now back comping away!!

So I think April was the last time that I won anything! It's been difficult to keep the motivation to carry on. I recently entered the USC competition to win a pair of KSwiss shoes. I've been needing new shoes for a long time, and have been unable to afford new ones myself, they came at the right time.

I'm hopeful for the future, hoping I'll win a few more things in the advent competitions. Good Luck to you all :)

I have entering competitions since the begining of the year and not had much luck. I recieved in the post today a Pro Plan Cat Blanket, which I didn't even know I had won.
I was well chuffed! Well my cats won't get much use out of it as it is going in the car so my dog can sleep on it when we go for our trips.

I may just keep entering now as little surprises like that make my day.

This month has been completely crazy! I've spent almost 2 years entering competitions almost every day trying to win a holiday. It had never happened until last Monday when I won 3 holidays... In one day!

Firstly, I was selected as a finalist in the Damart 'Art of Feeling Good' competition, for writing about my recent biodiversity research expedition to Indonesia with my students. The 5 finalists had to campaign for Facebook likes (which I hate doing) and I came second. The difference between prizes for first and second place was minor. I won a 3 night break at Nidd Hall, North Yorkshire for two people full board with full use of the spa facilities and entertainment. My friend and I are going for a Christmas shopping break! Also included was a choice of activity for another weekend. I chose an intensive cookery masterclass with celebrity chef Jean Christophe Novelli. This includes a stay in 5* London hotel for the weekend whilst I'm there. I also won some vouchers to spend in their online store.

Less than 20 minutes later, still buzzing from my first win, I received a WEM saying I'd won a weeks ski holiday for 4 in the French Alps with ski club of GB! I absolutely could not believe my luck. It includes chalet accommodation and ski passes, worth almost £2,000. I can't wait to go with friends and learn to ski, which has been on my bucket list.

Throughout the month I also won £50 to spend on cosmetics at saveonmakeup.co.uk (awesome site you should all check it out, really good discounts) and I've included a photo of the goodies I chose. I also won a double page advert in a magazine, which I used to help out my friend's business, a professional post Christmas oven clean to save me doing my most hated household chore, a case of rice crispie squares, pair of tickets to London dungeon and a pair of smart wool socks.

I think it's safe to say this has been my best month of wins ever, with prizes worth over £3,500. Good luck in the advents next month everyone!
