Winner Announcement and Updates

Congratulations to Reyhana Chunara on winning my Little Mix Competition! I will be posting your prize out shortly. I am hoping to run another Prize Draw in the New Year so keep your eyes peeled.

I hope you've all already started entering the advent competitions, I know I have. There seems to be more and more every year and it does take a lot of time if your working also. I try to do a few hours at night and before work and have made it easier by bookmarking my favourite's and using The Prize Finder Advent page. Problem is with all these to do it makes it harder to enter all the normal competitions.

Hint - maybe these will have less entrants :)

I have been lucky enough so far to win a Santa Light worth £79.99 from Carmarthen Lighting and a Cuvana Party Pack with 12 Bottles of Curvan, Ice Bucket, Hats and Keyrings from the One Stop Shop.


I will keep you all updated on anything else I'm lucky enough to win and don't forget to let me know what you've won.

Wishing you all a Fab Christmas! x

New blog.....

Hi all, since my blog here is doing so well I have set up another blog on Wordpress with a new layout and competitions I have found. Check it out here and let me know what you think. 

Not long now until I draw a winner for the Little Mix competition. Any future competitions will still be on this blog so please add me as a friend to keep up to date with my comping news.

As far as my wins go I'm having a bit of a dry spell at the moment, but it's to be expected as nothing is guaranteed. Good job I love doing what I do and any win is just a bonus. Hoping for good luck over xmas with all the advent competitions to do. I'm entering about 100 a day now so shouldn't be too long before I get something nice.

As always good luck x

Buffet tables laden with appetizers to keep my guests satisfied before eating in style from the menu above. Entertainment from the Jazz Band would get guests in the mood for some dances and we would even do the Charleston!

Get ready for the Xmas Advents

Christmas is almost upon us and they will be many a FB Advent competition to enter. Below are some tips on how to enter as many as possible.


  • Start searching these out as soon as you can and save them to your desktop or set up a folder where you access them easily. There are so many you are bound to forget some of them so this does help. 

  • Enter as many as you can, as regularly as you can.If you miss a day you can't go back to enter.

  • Some sites have a Pass the Parcel like M&S and Sanctuary Spa. Send as many invites as you can to your friends and hopefully they will gift you back. Some FB groups have been added to help with this so have a word with your comping friends to get added :)

  • Many of these are instant prizes, don't be dissappointed if you open a door to find nothing, there's always tomorrow :)

I will be listing any Advents I find nearer the time on my new blog so please check this out.

As always good luck and don't forget to share what you've won on here x

Mid month update

So were mid month and no wins for me. I've been ill and have tried to catch up with as many competitions as physically possible but still nothing. As I mentioned in my previous post I have been without the Internet for a few weeks so it's probably due to the fact that i haven't been able to enter as many as I normally would.

On a brighter note it's my birthday on friday and I'm off back to Lanzarote the weekend after so all is good. Just a little win would make my day!

When I return I will be drawing the winner of my competition and hopefully hosting another one since this one has gone really well.

If there is anything you would like to see on my blog then please let me know and i'll try to help.

TTFN!

Slow start to September

6 days in and 0 wins for me. Not a good start but if previous months are anything to go by then I could be laughing. I'm having difficulty entering as many this month as i'm in the middle of changing my internet connection and have been left without access for a week. I'm currently having to borrow my parents computer to update this!

My first competion is going well with over 400 entries and counting and I'm hoping to launch lots more giveaways over the coming months.

For now i've not got alot to say but hopefully i'll be able to post some wins soon!

Prize Giveaway....

So I've decided to run my first ever competition. Scary Stuff!! I'm giving away a brand new copy of "The Greatest Video Game Music" played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra worth £10.99. Please enter using the Rafflecopter below. (UK only)

Follow my Blog to be involved in future Prize Giveaways!


What a month...

So at the start of August I had won very little. A pair of platinum plated ear rings from a facebook like and share competition. After another week I was giving up all hope of August being a good month for wins, then out of the blue I received an email from BekoMums to say I had won a Beko Slimline Dishwasher with 6mths supply of Finish! If that wasn't enough, later in the day I got a call to say I'd won £250 with Direct Line through their Facebook game. Thinking that was it I received an email a week later to say I'd won a Tumi cabin case worth £595.
I was overwhelmed to say the least. Roll on September!
