Lunchtime update

I'm working at home today - really busy, which is great, I do a job that I love and work with some wonderful people, and, given the current economic climate it's a big bonus not only to have a job but to have a great one too.

Anyway, I'm just taking a few minutes at lunchtime to do an update - I'm always a bit paranoid about working at home and feel that I always have to show that I'm working, so I'm doubly active - going so far as to take my work mobile to the loo with me so that I'm always contactable.

I'm going through a bit of a prizewinning drought at the moment as the stats at the bottom of the page show. Funny old thing this comping lark - sometimes it seems that you're winning all the time and at times like this you're tempted to knock it on the head and pack it all in.

I remember one particular month not so long ago when I won; a luxury New York holiday, a week in a log cabin in the Lake District, a years supply of wine (72 bottles) and numerous smaller prizes.

I've entered a further 201 competitions since my last update and notably the world cup entries have dried up now! As hard as I try not to be I am thoroughly miserable............my fantasy prize win to South Africa watching England win the world cup is in tatters. The recent glut of Sex and the City competitions are continuing - fingers crossed I would love to go back to New York.

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.
