I used to enter competitions every so often but in July last year I received a picnic basket from Lakeland which I didn't even know that I had won. It felt great, the winning and the surprise, so I decided to enter more reguarly using competition sites.
I started late August and between the beginning of September and the End of December I won a total of 60 prizes with a value of around £3300+
My best prizes were ones that involved my partner and kids. There were a few of these including a Family Ticket for Thorpe Park for a date of our choice, Petrol Allowance and Money for Food and Drink and the best prize I have ever won - A family Trip to Chessington (Through Vanish Greatest Escape) which included a night in the hotel for all of us, A family Annual Pass, Zoo Keeper for the Day Experience for the two older children, and toys and gifts left in the hotel room for all 3 of them (A value of over £1000!!). We haven't taken this yet and are booked in for 23rd March this year.
I have so much fun comping and honestly don't know what I would do without it. The thrill of winning is amazing...hopefully it will carry on as I haven't won since December :(
Good Luck to all the compers out there :)
