Something For The Weekend

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Still nothing new to report here, but we have been on half term here with the children at home, so always throws the comping routine out of kilter somewhat.  The weather has been pretty good too, so when I haven’t been working I have been spending some good quality, family time with my husband and children enjoying the delights of the

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Nothing new to report here, having another dry spell!  Do dry spells get you down, or do they spur you on to try different comping techniques and entry methods to get winning again?  I have been trying to enter more postal, tie breaker and photo comps this month, rather than just the hundreds of online entry and social media comp

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Nothing new to report here, but did have some prizes turn up this week that I have been waiting for.  It is times like this that I love my prizes spreadsheet – I keep track of every prize I win, where it was from, the date, the type of comp, a rough value and then colour code prizes as they are won and when the

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  One new win for me so far this week of a box of After Eight mints, from their daily Facebook comp.  I have been doing that one since it started up again recently, having not won anything in the last round, so pleased to have won something this time!  Not a great win considering me and the hubby are on pre-summer health kicks, but

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Seriously, May already?  This year is going far too fast for my liking - it will be the summer holidays before we know it!  Feels like it has been a really unproductive week this week, as have had both children home sick from school at one point or another – eldest daughter had tonsillitis, and then the youngest came down with sc

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  A couple of wins for me since last time including a boater hat from the Brakspear Brewery instant win and a Russell Hobbs mini oven worth about £85 that I won for my daughters’ school in the Anchor Baking Kits for Schools  promotion.  I always keep my eyes peeled for prizes for the school and the school is really pleased when we

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Nothing new here but it has been a very busy first week back at school since the Easter hols.  There seem to have been an endless list of jobs to do, medical appointments and school commitments this week, plus trying to get back in shape prior to the summer – doesn’t feel like as much comping has gone on as I would have liked!  D

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Nothing new to report here, but we have been in Easter Holidays mode and are currently up in Peterborough visiting my family.  I have had the children entering a few Comping for Kids promotions over the Easter holidays though, so fingers crossed that they may win a prize or two for their efforts – you never know!

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  One win for me so far this April - a signed 20th Anniversary editino of "Guess How Much I Love You" from Netmums.  This is a favourite story in our house, and I will probably keep this one by as an heirloom to hand down to one of my girls in years to come.

Hello again compers!  How was your week, any nice wins to report?  Nothing new to report here – still very much in the middle of a bad dry spell.  How do you cope with dry spells, do they get you down or make you more motivated to carry on and win something?  It does get quite disheartening when you aren’t winning as regularly as you once were, especially if you have come
