I've just logged on quickly to do my daily coffeebreak comps and have entered £52,500 worth of cash prizes, as follows:
Loose Women £15k
This Morning £25k plus £3k Matalan couchers
The Chase £7.5k
Real Deal £2k
There is a so called "big 3" in the comping world, namely Cars, Cash, Holidays. I've ticked one of them off having won a couple of big holidays - the plushest having a potential value of £9,400.
I've won lots of vouchers and small cash prizes over the years but nothing significant yet. Friends often ask me if it would be possible to give up work and become a full time comper - to be honest given the lack of cash winnings and randomness I don't think it would be possible to be a comper without any other source of income.
However, having said that it is an interesting and rewarding hobby.........not a job!
good luck!

Hurray
Just back from the Scottish Highlands - took part in the Wateraid Munro Challenge, I love doing things for Wateraid, it's a great charity. There were 26 of us in our group and we climbed the Aonachs (Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag) which are the 7th and 8th highest mountains in Britain.
I must admit to being pretty shattered, but I reckon we will have raised more than £3,000 - enough to save the lives of some 200 children who don't have access to clean water and sanitation.
Anyway, while I was away I got an excited phone call from home that a big brown package arrived - my first win since starting this blog.............. I'll update again on Wednesday, really really shattered and need my beauty sleep.
good luck

Weekend Break
I took a bit of a break over the weekend, Bank Holiday and family matters took priority, although I did keep "my eyes on the prize" and got some more codes for the Coke World Cup Competition as well as seeking out the Asda magazine which always contains some lovely compos.
I took my 6 year old daughter to Wembley on Saturday to watch her first football match. It was the play off final and unfortunately we (Swindon) were beaten by Millwall - deservedly so in truth, we got stage fright and didn't really perform. It was a lovely day though, we managed to get first class train tickets for an extra £3 which was a bit of a bargain!
Anyway, on to today's competitions - I've just entered 2 codes into the Cokezone site as well as entered 10 comps from yesterdays coffeebreakwinner - there were some lovely competitions c. £35,000 worth of cash prizes and 4 good holidays, including St Lucia and Tennessee.
I also entered a competition in the Daily Express to win a motorhome - I was in 2 minds about entering this as it cost £2 to enter by text - but did anyway as I really really would like to win a motorhome. There are quite a few competitions which cost a bit to enterand I generally steer clear of them unless the prize is really exceptional.
Anyway, looking forward - I have a high degree of optimism this week, looking back over my entries there were an amazing number with closing dates of 31st May so I'm waiting for those Long White Envelopes to land on the doormat!
Also, I get my Simply Prizes magazine this week as well as all the internet comps. Anyway, off swimming with the children now.
