Comps Round-up - Winter Wishlist

Hello again compers!  How has your week been so far, any nice wins to report?  Another few wins here including a Christmas jumper (yay!) on the Budweiser app, another Heat & Hug koala from Cushelle and a car cleaning set from Ideal World TV on twitter.  How are you getting on with being organised for Christmas?  I have the bulk of all the large items bought and squirrelled away now, so anything else I win or buy are just extras.  I am hoping to get my turkey ordered and my new freezer in the next week or so, so I can start stocking that up with tasty treats too.  Need to do a big chocolate, snacks and alcohol shop at some point, so that by December I should be almost completely done!  This leaves me time to work, enjoy all the school Christmas activates and comp!  Definitely worth getting organised for!

I love the autumn and winter months – I am not built for warm temperatures and have to really stop myself moaning about the hayfever in the spring and the heat in the summer.  I am much better suited to cooler climates – although if I am honest I could do without the rain!  Nothing worse than a school run in the rain, spending 15 minutes getting everyone’s waterproofs on, and then another 15 minutes getting them all off again at school!  That being said I do still love these months.  They are so conducive to settling down with something comforting to eat (goulash or a steamed sponge maybe), a warming cuppa and watching some of the great TV that seems to arrive for autumn, or indeed spending a few hours in glorious comping!  To get us all ready for the season I decided it would be nice to give you a round up of some great comps offering prizes for autumn and winter – enjoy!
