Last month I rarely entered many comps as I was getting married. Although this month has certainly made up for it. I won lego from good2know worth £110, a hoover from ao.com worth £230 and a back to school hamper. I love comping! I am overjoyed with these wins as it has helped me out with Christmas coming up. Be lucky all.

The day I won a Sony Bravia 47" 3D HDTV
Monday, September 23, 2013
I started comping in June this year because my friend had stuff delivered to her almost daily!
I do the dailies mostly because I want an INSTANT win - I am too impatient to wait to hear!
I sat there one evening on my own as hubbie was at work. I put in my Pepsi code as I had done each and every day for what seemed like forever!
Then this message popped - CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A WINNER! I thought, oh it's probably a bottle of Pepsi - but no as I read on it said Sony Bravia 47" LCD TV
I couldn't believe it and rang hubbie and my mum and my daughter! The neighbours probably heard it all too!!!
Not bad for someone whose biggest prize up until then was some goodies from a Facebook sex shop site :)My Amazing Jackpot Joy Win!
Monday, September 23, 2013
I decided to try out a bingo site called Jackpot Joy as I saw it listed on your page and wow, I put £20 on and won £15,000! I can't thank you enough. I love this site, it's the best. This prize is a dream come true for me and my family, never did I think this would happen to me. x

Thursday, September 19, 2013
I remember when I first started competitions years ago via mag's, chat etc. I never ever won anything :( Then came along Facebook and ThePrizefinder and in Feb 2011 I entered my first ever Facebook competitions - Valentines day one's with Chevrolet for £1,000 and Rolo my last rolo comp, and I won them both!
That was it me hooked line and sinker!
I didn't win any other big prizes until 2012, but had lots of little wins teddies, lip glosses, toys etc. Then in December 2012 I discovered the Christmas Advent comp's!!! whoop whoop
For all those new compers let me tell you it fetches back the xmas magic for us adults! Last year I won a HD camcorder and lots of little wins, and am fully looking forward to them this year.
This year alone, just to name a few wins I've won:
A year's supply of fruit juice
A couple of teddies
Lip glosses and other make up items
A jacket for my fiance
A personalized razor
A golf set
£500 of clothing from Very
Toys etc etcBest of luck all. xx
A few little wins :)
Thursday, September 19, 2013
Despite being busy the past few months I’ve still managed a few small wins. I won two sets of Noroclear hygiene packs via a Rafflecopter competition on a blog. One was a home pack and one a travel pack full of wipes, sprays etc. Very handy with a baby in the house to keep things nice and clean.
On another blog I won a Nipper Clipper baby clippers and nail file set – also via Rafflecopter entry. A nice win as I was just about to buy one!
I love Rafflecopter competitions as it’s nice to see how many entries there are so you know if you are in with a good chance!
I also won a box of Shreddies via a Facebook app. Surprisingly they actually posted a box of cereal to me instead of providing a voucher! I also got a personalised razor from Gillette and finally a gradual tanning lotion via Magic Freebies on Facebook.
