I've had a good month. I won about 10 books. I've also won a few dailys and won batteries, a scarf for my daughters 10th birthday which she hasn't taken off. 2 bottles of wine, Aero bubbles, 2 x £5 amazon voucher, 2 DVDs, 2 Stella glasses, a Carling glass, eyelash food and 2 Jenning t-shirts.
But the best prize of all was Motorhead Phones with a signed letter and a CD/DVD which came in a flight case from MetalHammer, so thanks Prizefinder for all your hard work. I love this hobby so much I've joined Compers News and Compers Update so I'm hoping for a win on these soon.

2 tickets to Charlie & Chocolate Factory Preview Show
Friday, May 31, 2013
I am amazed: entering prize draws daily do make a big difference! I won these 2 preview tickets with London Time Out through a link on theprizefinder website. My husband took my 9-year-old to this preview last week ... they loved it and they even got interviewed by journalists when they got out of the theatre!
A win within my first week!
Thursday, May 30, 2013
I joined Theprizefinder.com after one of my ambulance chums told me she had won 3 prizes using this site, including an all expenses paid holiday to the USA.
The first week I entered loads of competitions and was really amazed to get an email to say I had won a 2 night stay for 2 at the St Brides spa hotel in Pembrokeshire, plus dinner for 2 on one of the evenings. And the icing on the cake was that we both get to experience 90 mins of the spa both days. We are booked for 31st July and we are so looking forward to it.
I've also won some goodies from Jack the Giant Slayer - t-shirt,cap and bracelet. So I will keep entering and using this fab site.A trip to Rome
Thursday, May 30, 2013
I won a trip to Rome from my local radio station. To qualify for the final you had to get to the Mini when it came to your house and beep the horn in 60 seconds. The next round was at a local BMW garage where all the finalists picked a key. If on your go you opened the Mini, you won a trip for 2 to Rome with £250 spending money.
I took my mother in law and had a fantastic time and the weather was lovely. Fingers crossed for a family holiday! xxIceland Flights!
Thursday, May 30, 2013
This year I was shocked beyong belief to receive a phone call from a radio station after entering a competition from your website to win flights for 2 to Iceland!
I was over the moon as it was somewhere I'd always wanted to go!! Especially to maybe have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights and go the thermal spas! Sadly, the flights were limited to certain dates and as a Primary School Teacher, I couldn't take time off to take the flights on the specified dates...they kindly gave me the opportunity to give the flights to someone or they would pick another winner. Immediately I knew it had to be my sister, who had recently moved in with her boyfriend and hadn't been away for a number of years! She was absolutely ecstatic and delighted with the prize - they booked their hotel, their time off work and hired a car for the week and sent me emails detailing their amazing trip! Needless to say they had a fantastic trip - they saw the amazing Northern Lights, bathed in the Blue Lagoon spa and took day trips around Iceland admiring the breathtaking views! They were extremely grateful and I am still hoping to go to Iceland myself in the next few years!Tea time on the Orient!
Thursday, May 30, 2013
So far I've only ever had small wins but this win took the biscuit (literally)!
Yorkshire Tea had hired the Orient Express for 4hrs on the 24th April and I saw this comp on their FB page where you had to just say why you deserved to go. I was so pleased to be one of the lucky few that had won!
I took my best friend along and we started off at London Victoria Station where we met Michael Vaughan! We boarded the Orient at 12.30pm and awaiting for us was the most exquisite afternoon tea, beautiful pastries, champagne and of course copious amounts of Yorkshire Tea!
We sat in our armchairs surrounded by the elegancy of the Orient and watched as the world went by choo chooing along! There was also another famous face on board...Louis from One Direction (cue screams)
The whole day was such a great once in a life time experience and something I never thought I would ever get to do, which is what I love about comping :)
Plus I got a free Yorkshire Tea tea-pot...mug...milk jug...bag.......badge....Weight Loss Win!
Thursday, May 30, 2013
I have been working to reduce my weight since the start of the year, and I have enjoyed some lovely wins as a compere since May 2012. In Jan I started losing weight, controlling my calorie intake and swimming weekly and walking on a weekend to and from town. In late May 2013, I won a months worth of Jenny Craig food, a veritable smorgasbord of delights all aimed at calorie controlling weight!! Fantastic!!
Breakfast, lunch and Dinner are all catered for, with varying meals, including Thai chicken, Lasagne, Noodle Pots, Paella, Breakfast Cereals, Snack Bars, Cannelloni.. Honestly, the list goes on!, and each meal is vaccuum sealed in a protective atmosphere meaning I don't need to worry about freezing or chilling anything, just cook and eat! Simples!!
I have lost approximately 2 stone since I started mid January and with the help of the Jenny Craig win, I hope to enjoy another stone before my annual holiday in August!
My only drawback is that alongside this wonderful win... I also won 12 tubes of new Pringles... ack!
Happy Comping everyone!
Mooched to Thorpe Park
Thursday, May 30, 2013
We won a family day out to Thorpe Park with Mooch Milkshake. I entered on the Facebook page and had to name a rollercoaster anywhere in the world. Efteling in Holland won it for us.
We had an amazing day out and even though it was showery, it didn't spoil it. First theme park visit for our young son and he loved it. Our daughter also had a ball and loved the Nemesis Inferno.
So thanks to Mooch, also the kids are hooked on the stuff too now, especially the marshmallow flavoured Mooch.
3 in a row
Thursday, May 30, 2013
I was never a fan of social network sites but after reading on ThePrizefinder of the wins others had on Facebook my son showed me how to sign up but keep private. I am glad I did as I have had three wins in two weeks! First was a £10 costa coffee voucher from Freederm (I can not use voucher in NI so they sent me a £10 note), next was a box of All Bran Red Berry Crunch from Kelloggs and I have just had an email to say I have won a pair of champagne glasses!
They say things go in Three's!

At the end of last year, I felt like the unluckiest person alive! My declining health meant I could no longer pursue my career, and I became unable to do the hobbies I once loved. Desperate to find new ways to spend my time - I discovered comping!
I began in January, but it wasn't until last month that I had the thrill of my first big win! It was an amazing £250 Amazon voucher from Service4Service and I was absolutely over the moon!!
Then, the strangest thing happened! Whilst still revelling in the excitement of my first win, my inbox 'dinged' again, and I'd won again! I could not believe my luck! This time I'd won a fantastic £200 One4All voucher from Ken Rand Furniture!
I was so incredibly grateful and could not believe that I had won twice, all within the space of an hour! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming! Then, the very next morning, as I was sitting having breakfast and checking my emails, I suddenly saw the most mind-blowing thing! I began blinking frantically at the screen, hardly daring to breathe and before I knew it, my face was tingling and I was starting to black out! My mum ran over to help me, but when she saw what was on the screen, she almost fainted too!
I had won a California Wine Tour Holiday with Lands’ End and Trafalgar, worth £5000!!!
It was a dream come true!
Out of all the competitions I'd entered, this one was the one I'd wanted to win more than anything - and I'd done it!! I'd always promised I'd take my Mum there one day, but I'd almost given up hope that it would be possible!
Now I believe that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!! :D
