It had been well over a year since I'd won anything, if not more. Having just gone back into higher education and having to cut back on paid work, things were a bit tight and I was busier with study.The run up to Christmas was a worry. Out of nowhere, before Christmas I got an email to say I'd won a £750 shopping spree and a camera worth £500. My biggest ever win. Suddenly trickles of advent wins started coming in: a nerf gun, a £50 jewellery voucher, book vouchers, Molton Brown sets. I can't tell you how useful these were for prezzies. And, I hadn't been entering competitions any more frequently than normal - likely less! Just this week, I had the nice surprise of a £75 Boots voucher. Don't give up entering I say.

First magazine win
Tuesday, February 21, 2017
I normally stick to the usual fill in forms when entering competitions but after having a slow Dec & Jan i decided to change my tactics late January and enter magazine puzzle comps.
Last week, i got this letter in the post informing me of my win from TV Choice magazine!
I will put the money towards a small holiday later on in the year.
Lovely New Chair
Friday, February 17, 2017
I won a new sofa a couple of years ago, in a national newspaper competition. I love this sofa but I really wanted to win an amrchair that would go nicely with it. Not something you see all that often in competitions, a single armchair. I also wanted quite a high seat one as i am recovering from a serious accident which makes getting in and out of a chair difficult. I was delighted to see a facebook competition to win an arm chair. My sofa is beige and navy. The chair was beige and burgundy - not a perfect match but I thought it might look ok. I was delighted when they messaged me telling me I had one. Imagine my surprise when they told me that someone had accidently sold the giveaway chair so could I please choose an alternative. Naturally I chose one to match my sofa. So my furniture in the living room is sorted!
Fabulous February
Thursday, February 16, 2017
February has been a great month firstly I won a box of wax melts on Facebook, then I won a local comp to have a curly blow wave, and lashes and make up. Then I won a valentine twitter comp which was some roots crisps and lindor chocolates and last but not least an amazing double pram worth at least £500.
Christmas Not Over!
Thursday, February 16, 2017
Thinking that the Advents had passed me by yet again, I had a WEM mid January from Godiva, informing me I had won one of their £100 hampers, so long any dieting New Years Resolutions! haha!
new years eve party
Saturday, February 11, 2017
normally in bed as the clock chimes midnight , last year I won a party with Tesco and Bacardi worth £1,000 including a years Spotify account and a polaroid camera. The food and drink started arriving after Christmas, enough to feed a small army, and on the night we were joined by our own mixologist , Colin, who demonstrated his juggling skills with various bottles and concocted some mean and very potent cocktails, a great night was had by all the family,we are still eating leftovers

ANOTHER HOLIDAY :D
Friday, February 10, 2017
I posted on here recently about my win to Gran Caneria (going on Monday) and I was over the moon about this prize as top of my comping list!!
I then looked at the winners stories and saw someone had won two holidays recently and I thought that's very very lucky and how funny would it be if I did too.. Late that day in the post office que I checked my emails to find I HAD WON ANOTHER HOLIDAY.
I re read the email 100 times as its to the MALDIVES AND DUBAI!! Maldives location pictured :) the trip costs over £12k!!
I still can't believe my luck and it just shows you have to keep going as I won this through CNtraveller in NOVEMBER and only found out .. so you never know when your emails will make your day!!
We are sooo excited!! I recently won £25 through a local facebook comp which helped the January blues!
Good luck all and happy valentines <3 xx
Kidzania tickets & Film premier tickets!!!
Tuesday, February 7, 2017
In the autumn last year I won 4 kidzania tickets to the attraction my niece was desperate to visit so went with her friends in Nov for her birthday treat followed by a nice dinner. This week I've just been told I won 3 tickets to the 50 shades darker film premier in London with the stars!!
So exciting to be attending a red carpet event (via a heart radio comp) with my sister and best friend and be able to share experiences with those around you is great.
I started regularly comping about a year ago and enter the things that make my eyes light up- I think this site is brilliant for helping you keep track of the entries and great variety of prizes out there. Thank you Prizefinder!
Theatre Trip
Monday, February 6, 2017
Only had two wins so far in 2017 but both have been really good. I won £150 worth of expensive luxury toiletries and then this week I have won a red letter voucher worth £100. I have put it towards afternoon tea and theatre tickets to see Wicked. Have booked it a couple of days after my mum's birthday so will be a great birthday treat for her!
