I have been comping since August 2012 and had won lots of small prizes including a Oasis jacket, trunki toy box, xbox games and more. But the most amazing thing happened on the 20th of December - I got an email from Kiss radio station to say I had won an all expenses paid trip to London on New Year's Eve for 4 people including 1 night's hotel stay, VIP tickets to kisstory, train tickets and £350 to spend. I was in shock - best surprise ever! We had the most amazing time and even found time to go sight seeing.

My Biggest Win Yet
Thursday, January 3, 2013
My First Facebook Win!
Thursday, January 3, 2013
Between May and December 2012, I had 4 little wins including a Lush hamper, a haircare set, complimentary Christmas fair tickets and my latest win, a £25 gift card...I won the card from Marlowes shopping centre, entering through their facebook page on the off chance that I might win the top prize .I won one of two runner up prizes instead of £25. As I don't live near the centre, the prize promoters sent me the giftcard anyway in the hope I could use it in other branches of the stores they have within their shopping centre. Luckily for me it worked and I exchanged it for something we needed, the lovely retro lamp pictured! The little wins keep you going but I am hoping that 2013 will be my year for a big win ;-)
What A Year!
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
What a Year! Over £7500 in prizes, the last being just before Christmas, when I won entertainment goods worth £1568 from the BuyMobiles Facebook page. Thats 3 large TV's this year, plus lots more. Also, I'm still waiting for some advent prizes to arrive. Keep up the good work, and good luck to all the regulars for 2013, hope most of you get lucky.
Thanks for the Advent List!

This is my second xmas of Advent Comps and I loved every minute of it on ThePrizeFinder! They were so easy to find and enter and so enjoyable. I found myself going comp crazy entering hundreds a day and winning more than once a day! My fave this month was winning a TomTom satnav from mymemory on facebook via www.theprizefinder.com worth £160, but I won a lot of brilliant prizes like hampers, body oils and vouchers too. I've also had a lot of surprise wins turning up like a Winnie the pooh night toy and Quadbike Lego. Hope you all have a lucky 2013! :)
Last wins of the year
Sunday, December 30, 2012
In the last 6 weeks I have done well with some good wins. I had a phone call a night before my birthday to say I had won a VIP trip to the Albert hall to see the Penelopes and a night's stay in the 5 Star Mayfair hotel which I gave to my mum and dad because of my son being ill that night. They loved it and even got signed t-shirts and CDs. Then the advents came and I won a hair kit from Umberto, a Nikon USB shaped like a camera, £10 ITunes voucher, clarins goody bag , Heinz ketchup squezzy bottle and the best of all 4 VIP tickets to Disney on ice where my son and his cousin got to go in goofys submarine as part of the show, they were so excited. Thank you to ThePrizeFinder :) .
My Ice Cream Dream!!
Thursday, December 27, 2012
I won the voting competition I entered to design an ice cream flavour, win a fridge freezer, visit the ice cream company and make the ice cream, 30 tubs of ice cream and have my flavour handed out to 20,000 visitors to the Good Food Show! My flavour was CocoCherryFudgetastic and it was commissioned to celebrate Lec's 70th anniversary. It had a coconut milk base, pureed cherries and pieces of white chocolate cherry fudge chunks! It was utterly delicious and I had a lot of fun making it.
December has brought with it many good prizes for my family again. A Furby, champagne, smoked salmon, dresses for me, games for the kids, cheeses, wine, a rocking horse and so much more! Even a BushTucker trial with real salt and vinegar crickets!!!
I am still loving the competitions from ThePrizeFinder and am hoping for much more fun and luck in 2013.Getting the thrill back!

I have been comping on and off since 2001, had a break for a few years then got back into it all. Unfortunately I took really ill Xmas a few years back and I couldn't get my head back into the game.
At the beginning of this month I went into a panic as this was thw first Christmas I had won absolutely nothing for my kids! It was the first Christmas in 12 years I had nothing.
My instant thought was theprizefinder.com, and try my hand at the daily comps, of course forgetting that December sees Advent Time!
Since Ive been back doing competitions for the last three weeks I'm actually surprised at how much I have won!
A Pringle Speaker
Mousemat
Xbox FIFA 2013 Game
A Jumper From Next for son
Face Cream from The Stella hourly Draw
and a crate of Bondi Beer!It's actually spurred me on to keep up to date with closing soon comps and here's hoping I can report some more wins very soon.
There's no excuses now with the wonderful tracker in place, makes things so much easier! My next goal is to win a tablet for hubbie's 60th in January.
There is always hope!

On first discovering ThePrizefinder I had an initial spurt of good luck, winning a Claridges Afternoon Tea voucher, £1,000 worth of Staples office equipment and £1,000 with Real Radio + several other smaller prizes within the space of around 18 months. Over the past 4-5 months I seemed to have reached a bit of a lull, just winning a couple of small prizes/giveaways and was starting to lose heart - figuring I'd exhausted my lucky streak. I then however discovered the Advent Comps - initially I just won smaller prizes, several through Pringles (magazine voucher, speaker etc) - however today I've had an email saying I've won the Origins skin care prize for the 22nd. This has now spurred me on to have a bit of a blitz in the hope my lucky streak has returned!
A big thank you to Prizefinder and a HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!
Anyone for Coffee?
Saturday, December 22, 2012
I had been entering the 'Closing Soon' section on Prize Finder for a while now. I always check my emails on my phone hoping for a lovely WEM to be waiting for me. This one afternoon I got one from Nisa saying I had won a NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto Machine. I literally ran up the road to tell my other half. I expected one of the smaller machines but I actually received a 'Circola Play & Select' machine worth £170. I'm over the moon as this is a product I could never afford to buy. It's a lovely treat that I can share with my fiancee :) Times like this is when I remember why I put so much time and effort into comping - it's so worth it!
The best hobby ever
Friday, December 21, 2012
Whilst the last few months have been slow on wins I'm hoping things will start to pick up in the new year, new start and all that.
Recently I have won a Thomas the tank engine DVD from an Advent comp, The Mentalist series 4 DVD set, 1 month's supply of pasta, and a Missoni headband worth £69
I still love the thrill of never knowing what's going to pop through your door.
