Meet Our Latest Winners!

This is my very first win of the 2016. I was so excited to find out I won it as my daughter is a big book-lover. This wonderful prize was put in to her Birthday box ready to be opened in June. Thank you ThePrizeFinder for making our (even small) dreams come true.

Work has been so busy that I haven't had much time for comping over the last couple of months, and have just been entering the odd one here and there. So I was amazed when I received an email telling me I had won a £200 Hotels.com voucher in the Guardian's weekly readers travel tips competition. The theme last week was unusual holiday experiences, and I wrote about my crazy visit to Tokyo's Robot Restaurant. Now I just have the tricky job of deciding what to spend the voucher on!

I've been comping since the 1970's when it was slogans and postal comps and I used to win 2 or 3 times a week! Last year I won only a handful of prizes but 2016 has started well. My first little win was free delivery from Approved Food and today I won £50 from Iceland / Bird's Eye for my #freezie photo. They liked my pic of my tea!

I had a very unlucky 2015 and won a grand total of ONE prize! I decided that my luck was going to change in 2016 and after some perseverance, it has! I have already exceeded last year's total and won two Twitter prizes. One was a case of Kettle bites crisps which I am still waiting for to arrive and another was a voucher for Breakfast at the Handmade Burger Company (pictured)! I had thought about giving up Comping but I feel like these are signs to continue, long may my luck last!

I had a real shortage of cosy jumpers during Christmas 2015, and hadn't found any that really called out to me whilst shopping. During Christmas Jumper day at work I decided it was time to get a nice, unique Christmas jumper that I can wear this year and will last me for future Christmases!

But - I decided I was going to win one. I entered all the Christmas jumper competitions I could and one came up trumps - but perhaps it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I won a jumper for two people - so a huge, thick sweater that two people can fit into!

My sister and I were wearing it constantly over the festive season and it got more than a few laughs. It was a great useful win!

After comping full on in 2014I decided to stop for a while as my prizes didn't really justify the hours spent!! I have now decided to only enter competitions for prizes I actually want! And today an ASUS ZenPad and case turned up out of the blue, no note, but checking back its seem to be from the Mirror. Hoping for a good year with a lot less effort!!! :)

I used to be an avid comper, but had a year off last year as it was taking up a lot of time and I have several kids to look after and devote my days and nights to, however, I decided that this month would be the time to start entering competitions again. I think I entered around 1000 competitions in the last 3 weeks, but to my complete amazement won some Sisley face products (value of approx £230) and a fantastic Mountain Buggy stroller, RRP £189.99. I am really happy with my January wins and will keep on going all year now. It's very encouraging when you have a good win :)

I was a little worried that January was going to be a wash out, but at the weekend I received a surprise win of a bundle of clear stamps and a few cut out dies from a craft magazine entry. I don't know the exact value, but worked them out to be roughly £90 to purchase at full price, so I was very pleased. I'll be getting on with making some new cards this weekend!

This month I've won a Fish Slice on Twitter, tickets to watch Liverpool Train and a Barbie pop up camer van for my granddaughter. I googled the camper van and was amazed to see it costs £95 to buy. The camper van is huge and is going to have to go in the loft until next Christmas!

I'm planning on winning all the presents for next year...... I wonder who's going to get the fish slice?

I had a pretty good December. Won quite a few prizes on advent comps. tickets to see Santa, Ice hockey and go-carting (below). Also won a basketball ring, some toys and a cashmere sweater. Approx value was over £500. I won a few prizes every week which kept me motivated!
