My ever increasing competition wins

I first got the competition bug about 10 years ago, but other commitments (new baby & toddler son) soon took priority. I have quite a bit of time on my hands at the moment, so at the beginning of March I started getting serious about entering comps again. I would estimate that I am entering between 50 – 100 a day. I only enter competitions for prizes I want or can use (i.e. a holiday for 2 in France wouldn’t be much use to me, a single mum to two kids)! I find most of the competitions via the Moneysavingexpert forums but I also visit loquax or the uk.rec.competitions newsgroup.

So here is a summary of my wins so far (approx 2 wins a week):

Meyer Saucepan set – £150

Virgin Experience Voucher – £50

Yeoman Garden tool gift set – £20

Tresemme Curl Activator Spray – £4.99

Iron Man Book – £6.99

Under Enemy Colours Book – £12.99

Sowing Secrets Book – £6.99

Camden Crawl CD – £3.50

Missy Elliot Respect M.E – £6.00

Espirit Voucher – £5.00

2 x Which Jute Shopping Bags – £5.00

Alvin & The Chipmunks Kids Hoodie – £10.00

Broadway Nails Kit – £15.00

Mark Hill De-Frizz Shine Serum – £6.99

Anna Sui perfume secret wish – £23.00

National Trust Family Pass – £25.00

Zak!Pak Goodies – £20.00

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick – £17.00

Brainiac T-Shirt – £7.99

TOTAL SO FAR: approx £407!!

I’m a WINNER!

Due to being bored at home, a couple weeks ago I decided to start entering competitions to pass the time. I mainly enter competitions posted on the MoneySavingExpert competitions forum but I occasionally visit Loquax too.

Last Friday (4th) I got an email telling me I had won a Meyer Circulon Steel Elite saucepan set worth £150 and it arrived yesterday morning.

It’s very posh compared to my old flimsy saucepan set. The pans are really heavy.

Then on Monday I won a £50 Virgin Experience voucher on the ‘Big Snap‘ competition. This competition is brilliant as there is a prize every hour and it runs for about 8 weeks in total. My kids have even got into it and we all rush to get clicking on the hour to see if we win. I’m hoping to win again so that I can get enough to treat the kids and I to a nice experience day as £50 doesn’t get you much.

Finally on Tuesday I received an order confirmation email for a Yeoman Tools Gift Set that I hadn’t ordered. I gave the company a ring and they confirmed that I had actually won a competition. For this gorgeous pink gardening set. I haven’t received this yet but here is the picture off of the competition page:
