I started comping in mid December 2012, I had been off work ill for a couple of months and wanted to do something that might bring me joy so I started looking for competitions. I soon found ThePrizefinder site which helped me find the odd competition but mainly allowed me to keep track of what I enter.
The first month I was super lucky, I won a handbag from a company that I love and had liked on Facebook, a DVD and a snowdog in a channel 4 competition. Then nothing until March, and now the prizes are rolling in. I've won Piranha Blu-ray, LoS DVD, Elizabeth Arden Eyeliner, Dirty Works face mask, then, my first surprise prize arrived, a Glam Glow set.
I went in to hospital to have surgery, just before I had been informed that I had won a Jean-Paul Gaultier Anniversary edition perfume set, something to look forward to! While in hospital my partner checked my emails for me, four days after my operation he told me I had won some spa vouchers and a skincare set, I think it was the first time I had smiled in hospital. The skincare set & perfume set turned up the day after I was discharged from hospital and some surprise prizes, a St Tropez set and hair products.
I consider myself lucky, I've not won big money but I love everything I've won. I only enter for things I really want, I also have a tight routine I spend no longer than an hour doing it while watching TV.
I'm on the road to recovery now but I do know that when I go back to work I will still enter competitions. Just remember, someone has to win them so why can't it be you?
