I have been on maternity leave since February this year, and decided to start entering competitions - giving me something to focus on (rather than daytime tv!) and also to try and win things for my baby girl. I have had some great success in the last few months (Including a Wi Fi controlled washing machine and £1000 of cake decorating products!) - using prize finder to help me to find competitions to enter and winning some lovely things. It is also great winning prizes that I can give to my family for Christmas, as being on maternity pay isn't great for the finances! October has been a great month so far - winning various books, £50 Not On The High Street vouchers, £50 M&S Vouchers, £20 ASOS vouchers, £10 cash, £77 of teething toys, £44 Decleor face serum, £180 product of the year goody bag, £100 Garmin action camera, and the best win - we get to take our baby girl on her first family holiday to Bluestone in Wales worth £300. I get such great satisfaction out of entering and winning some great prizes, people always say i'm very lucky - but really it is just because i'm so determined to win. You have to be in it to win it!
