Are you a winner?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Do you enter competitions?
What kind of things have you won?
I entered a competition I didn't think I'd win, and I've a pair of the most gorgeous shoes heading my way.
Only issue is they're 2 sizes too big 
I was gonna give them away as a gift but I think I love them too much and will just have to "wear thick socks Gordon"

A free holiday is just as good as a win on there!

"Bottle of wine in a village panto raffle
Is it still sat in a cupboard?"
If you fancy a bottle of Hungarian wine..
Surely the only time that makes it into a raffle is when someone else wins it in a raffle..

Fat fingers alert!
I won a picnic blanket on a Facebook competition once and I recently won “Queen for a Day” in an office charity quiz. I swapped it with a colleague for her bottle of wine, she milked it so much better than I would have done (and I didn’t like the crown ) |

I won a weekend spa break recently from a F***book 'like and share' competition. It was fantastic and included drinks and food
I always win a prize in school raffles, so much so it's become a running joke that there's not much point in buying tickets if I'm there |

Ok, next time buy the tickets, then hand them out randomly to other people. |

Decent shopping trip there
I decorated my bathroom with it. £100 went a long way, back in the 90s."
I really like that. Decorating houses is  for me. Like, where the fuck do I start?! |

My uncle won a mini about 30 years ago. They phoned to tell him he'd won but he thought it was a wind up because it was his birthday. He kept telling the guy to fuck off and stop annoying him. He told my auntie about the phone call and she said aww yeah I entered that in the Daily Record. They phoned back thankfully x |

Nobody really wants to hear about the big stuff do they? Unless it's a relative or friend of someone's, otherwise it's like bragging.
I dont care. I won best turned out in every event I entered. I won all of the five one day events I entered in 1989. I won the intermediate at Badminton in 1990, four of 27 point to points between 1988 and 1990. Second in 11 of them. I was shit hot. |

Won tickets to the Phoenix music festival back in the 90s via a rock magazine. Brilliant!
The prize came with a free case of booze.
Even more brilliant!
Turned up, got the wrist band things, then was given a non-committal reply when I asked about my booze.
Apparently it had mysteriously disappeared and they 'couldn't find' it.
I was a student at the time and couldn't afford to buy my own, only taking enough dollars for travel and food.
Not very brilliant..

Oooh just remembered another one - back in 2012 my daughter was obsessed with Shrek The Musical (that we'd taken her to see) and they ran a great competition where you had daily tasks to complete for which you got points, and at the end of two weeks or whatever it was, those with most points won prizes - we came second overall and won 4 top priced tickets to the show and a backstage tour!!
Also won a spot prize of a Kindle for a pic we entered featuring me as Shrek!! |

Wait! And just as I was bemoaning my poor luck on the thread, I’ve just received an email telling me that I’ve won a luxury holiday in the Caribbean! All they require are my bank details for identification purposes obviously, and I’ll be sipping cocktails with my feet up on a private beach next week |
