I enter a lot of competitions and have done so for many years but I've never had a winning streak like I'm having at the moment. In January I had three wins. I normally have one win every six weeks or so.
In February I have again had three wins. The first two were tickets to an event and I've given them away. This gives me pleasure - I've had the thrill of winning and I've had the pleasure of enabling four people to go to an event which they will enjoy. The third prize is a large selection of candles and associated products and I'm keeping those. I will use some and I will give some away as Christmas and birthday presents. Believe it or not, the retail value of this lot is supposed to be around £250!
I enjoy comping but it is time consuming. At the beginning of the month there was a bit of a lull in the number of competitions available but more are coming up now. It takes me less than an hour and I do them as I have my first couple of cups of coffee at about 5am. I would not do them if someone was hoping to converse with me or if I were very busy but I live alone and I am retired.
Somehow a comping win reassures me that the universe is on my side
Wpw, what a wonderful win, they will indeed make some great gifts.

ReplyDeleteWell done. Isn't it lovely to be able to share.
ReplyDeleteWell done on all those prizes! It must give a lift to the spirit to be notified of a win and give even more pleasure to brighten someone else's day. Long may your winning streak last.

ReplyDeleteI love a good comp. I enter them while im waiting for the school gates to open in the afternoon. I have yet to win big but occasionally i get a little something through the post x
ReplyDeleteWell done with all the winning
ReplyDeleteWow how lovely. I do surveys and get coupons. I use them at Boots and Costa, nice to think I 'm having a free coffee just for my opinions.
