Competition win

Now we're rocking. The prizes are starting to roll in.

Just had a call to tell me that I've won a pair of tickets to RedFest http://www.redfest.co.uk/
which looks pretty good - there's a really interesting line-up.

Unfortunately I'm in Vilnius (Llithuania) that weekend playing cricket so will have to pass on the tickets.

Must admit I was feeling a tad miserable about the veritable prize drought........a little more encouraged now.


good luck

Competition win

Hurray, hurray, hurray, hurray

I've just received a Long White Envelope (LWE) - my second prize in the 6 weeks since I started this blog. The "hurrays" are tempered somewhat by the prize...............

I've won a runner up prize in a competition run by Wagg Foods - there is a clue in the name.

I'm a runner up in a competition and have won a box of dog treats - not having a dog or any intention of getting one, this is a little perplexing as I don't normally enter competitions that others might appreciate more.

Having looked at their website www.waggfoods.co.uk I've established that the first prize was for a 10 mega pixel camera - which makes a little more sense.

Anyway, there are about 10 different treats to choose from - I think I'll choose "Chunky Bars" (yummy) which I'll give to a dog owning friend.


good luck

351 brand new competitions

Gadzooks - the July edition of Simply Prizes has just thudded on to my doormat - its got 351 brand new competitions inside which include 34 summer holidays, 7 cars and a £100,000 jackpot prize.

To be honest I'm getting behind a bit again and haven't finished all the entries from the June edition. I'll focus on all the biggies and postcard entries first and not worry so much about the smaller ones - maybe catching up with them if I can find some time somewhere. I'll do the postcard entries as there tends to be fewer entries for them and hence more chance of wnning.

Today is also publication day of Mycomps and there are normally about 150 new internet based competitions each week............sooh I've probably got a list of about 600 comps to be entered.

Interestingly the Editor of Simply Prizes says in her editorial that she is also having a bit of a lean time at the moment - so I'm in auspicious company.

Today is one of those difficult days where comping unfortunately falls down the pecking order (maybe I'll manage between 10 and midnight). This evening I've got the Governor's Meeting to chair at my local primary school - a really great thing to do. This clashed with my midweek cricket which has been cancelled as well as the Germany vs Spain World Cup Semi which I will tape and watch later when I'm comping.............phew

good luck

No prizes yet

I've been doing this blog for just over a month now and amazingly have entered just over 1200 competitions - pretty typical number of entries. I haven't done anything special this month - maybe entering fewer than normal being busy at work and gallavanting up Scottish mountains for charity.

What is a little unusual is the lack of prizes............1200 entries vs 2 Rubiks Cubes, if this was the norm I would pack up, stop, quit, desist, cease or never enter another competition again - fortunately this isn't the case........................I hope.

I popped round to Morrisons earlier - they do have a constant supply of new comps to enter including some great holidays, most of which are "no purchase necessary" - managed to pick up a couple of entry forms.

Roll on the thud of Long White Envelopes landing on the mat!!

good luck
