Winning Wednesay

January was a slow month for me. I did not win as much as I normally win in a month due to the fact I barely entered any competitions and also I found that there were not as many competitions around as there normally are. The prizes that I did win, I was very happy with.



Munchkin Bubble Blower
I was extremely happy to win this as Maxwell adores bubbles at the present moment. He loves to have big bubble baths and blow bubbles around our home so I know he will adore playing with this when we get it.

£50 Tesco Gift Card
I was so happy to win this. It came at a great time and I have used it to buy lots of nice pieces for our home. I was allowed to choose any gift card of my choice however this one seemed to fit well with our spending. I would love to win a few more of these this year.

Kabuto Noodles
I have never tried these noodles before but since winning them I can confirm they taste great! I love winning food prizes as it normally means I get to try new foods and if we like them  I often decide to buy them again when I see them on offer. I will be buying our family more of these!

Democare Plasters
This was a small little win but a handy little win. Since receiving our prize Maxwell is obsessed with the detailed pictures and loves to stick the plasters on himself. He has gone as far as sticking them on himself and using them as stickers.

Halfords Winter Car Set
This was a handy little win for Ben to have. Ben either works really early mornings or late nights and often comes back to a frosted, cold car. This little set has proven to be very handy for him!

Winning Wednesday

For me December was a month for me to kick back and relax. I planned most of my blog post's in November so December was a month where I could focus on family, mine and Maxwell's Birthdays as well as Christmas. This said I did have time to enter a few competitions. I did not manage to enter as many competitions as I would have liked to however I did win some fab prizes.

Winning Wednesday

Manchester United VS Liverpool Tickets
This was one of my favorite prizes as it meant me and Ben got to go to Manchester for the day and we were Maxwell free. It was lovely to spend just time with Ben and I am so glad I won the tickets as he is mad about Manchester United. It was a fab treat for Ben and I had a great time also. If we had bought the tickets we would have been looking at around £200 a ticket!

£10 Debenhams Gift Card
This was a lovely prize which I was grateful for. I am always after bits for the home and I know this voucher will come in handy. I am looking to get some new cutlery soon, so I think I will use the voucher towards a new set.

Tom Tom Sat Nav
Ben starts a new job next week and was in need of a new Sat Nav. I was extremely thrilled to have won this prize as not has it only saved us money but it will also help Ben in his new job. I think this was my favorite win because it was something we needed but did not have the money for one.
 
Spirograph Set
I remember having one of these as a child so this was a nice prize to win. Maxwell is a little small for it this year however when it arrives I think it will be a lovely prize to include in his stocking for Christmas 2015. 

Gant Scarf
I was a little shocked to win this prize but incredibly happy. I have given the prize to Ben and Ben loves it. It is keeping him warm this winter and it is something which we can not normally afford. I hope to win some more clothing luxuries in 2015.  

Take That CD III
I love Take That so this was a nice prize for me to win just before Christmas. I have been listening to the CD in my own time at night and think it is fabulous.

Winning Wednesday

Last month was very quiet on the wins front, this is mainly because I did not have time to enter many competitions due to me concentrating on my blog for Christmas. That said, I did win a few handy prizes and Maxwell won a prize also!


Just Eat £6 - Voucher
I was lucky enough to win this voucher by submitting a photo of our Halloween costumes. The voucher did not pay for the whole of our Takeaway which we had but it did pay for half of one which is great as I always love to save money.

Ferrero Collection
I won these on a game with my friend and I am excited to receive them. I am planning on  adding these to Ben's Christmas stocking when they arrive. I think they will make a great gift!

Davina Hotter Bag
My Mum has claimed this prize as she has been after a bag like it for a while. The bag is a great size and is made from real leather. I am looking forward to receiving this and giving it to my Mum as a special treat.

Dora The Explorer Goody Bag
Maxwell won this goody bag with a picture we submitted into the Nick Jr Halloween competition of him. The goody bag arrived recently and Maxwell was thrilled with the bits and bobs which were in there. He loves Dora and he was even more thrilled to find that there were Peppa Pig items included in the bag also. 

London Sealife Aquarium Tickets
I was the lucky winner of a family aquarium ticket and I think we will be visiting London in the new year to use it. Maxwell adores fish so he will have a fab time visiting the aquarium. Due to it being a family ticket , Ben, Maxwell and I will be able to go. 

Winning Wednesday


This month I did not spend a lot of time entering competitions. If I am honest I have been doing lots of things to the house, spending lots of time with Maxwell and I have enjoyed taking a break from comping as I want to reset my batteries ready for the competitions in December however I despite taking a back seat I won some great prizes.

Buddhas Hand Tree
This was one of the last wins of the month. This win is quite a wacky one however I think the prize is quite cool. I won this prize in a Halloween competition which we entered and I was the only entrant. I am happy I won the competition and I am looking forward to watching the tree grow.

Bright Starts™ 3-in-1 Step 'n Ride Lion
I entered this competition without realizing what age group it was for. Unfortunately the prize is a little too young for Maxwell however I plan to give the prize away to someone this Christmas. The toy looks great and would be perfect if Maxwell was a tad younger. 

£10 Asos Gift Card
I adore gift voucher wins and this one was brilliant to win just before Christmas. Ben loves buying clothes from Asos so this gift card will be used towards a small Christmas present for him. Asos have such a wide range of products, I will find it hard not to use.

Leapband
I won this prize thanks to a photo of Maxwell which I submitted to a Facebook group. This is a fab little win and although I know Maxwell is a little to young for this at the present moment, I will be keeping it for Maxwell to use at a later date.

Rimmel London Mascara 
I love makeup prizes and I was really happy to win this. I have used the mascara since I won it and I have nothing but good things to report about the product. When the mascara runs out I will be purchasing another, I love it when I win items that I never knew about and find them amazing. 

£20 Amazon Gift Card
This gift card came at a great time for me. I will be using it towards Christmas presents. I love Amazon as they sell such a huge range of products, when I win Amazon vouchers I know they will be put to good use as there is always something which I am waiting to buy on my Amazon gift list. 

Winning Wednesday

September was a good month for me however I think I could have still done better. I did not enter as many competitions as usual. Life took over and I spent a few hours a week entering competitions instead of spending a hour a night. Although I did not spend as much time on entering competitions, I was still lucky to win some great bits and pieces which will come in use to our family and home. 



Huggies Potty Training Pack
With Maxwell starting to potty train, this prize will come in handy. I was thrilled to win this prize and I am looking forward to using the items I won with Maxwell. I am hoping it will save us a bit of money as potty training pants can get quite expensive. I am looking forward to its arrival. 

Mega Loom  Band Box
A few weeks ago I wrote about how Maxwell and I had been loom banding for charity. I have been very busy over recent weeks so have had to take a break from loom banding but I can not wait to start again and create a large loom which we can send to the loom to the moon charity. 

Sweet Dreams Squidge
I was desperate to win Maxwell one of these to go in his Xmas box. Maxwell is a huge fan of CBebbies so I know when Maxwell opens this at Xmas he will have a huge smile on his face.

Fifa 15
I was thrilled to win this for Ben. Ben is addicted to playing Fifa so it was great to win him the new copy. I love winning prizes for family members as it allows me to treat them. 

A Furby
I remember having a Furby when I was a child so I was excited to win this cute little fella. Maxwell and I both love playing with him, we love his little personality however he can get annoying occasionally. 

£25 Marks And Spencer's Vouchers
I love winning vouchers and I am looking forward to using these. I will more than likely use them to buy people presents for Christmas as I love buying family members great big boxes of chocolates and biscuits from Marks on special occasions.

Bigjigs Baking Set
Maxwell won this in a photo competition in which he dressed up as a chef, so really this is Maxwell's win. We are looking forward to cooking up a storm in the kitchen and getting around to use this set. There are 26 pieces in the set so there will be plenty of bits and bobs for Maxwell to use. 

Winning Wednesday

As many of my friends know I love to enter competitions however for about 6 months I haven't been entering many competitions. It became a pain to keep up with all the competitions I used to enter and I found I wanted to make time for other hobbies and spend more time with Maxwell however it is safe to say June/July have been amazing months for me and it's nice to say I am back in the comping zone. Every competition I win I am thankful for. Thankful for the fact that the prize I have won will change my family's life in some way. Here are a few of the fabulous prizes I have managed to bag myself over the last few months!


Remington Pearl Hair Wand
I was extremely happy to win this prize as I had wanted to win a hair wand for a long time. I am looking forward to using it to get summer curls as well as using it for special occasions like my sisters wedding.

8 Boxes Of Jubbly Ice Lollies
These Ice Lollies seem to be keeping us refreshed all summer and they taste delicious! We were sent lots of different flavours, so we have not managed to get bored of them yet. Maxwell is a huge fan of them and has been enjoying them a lot in the garden.

Jet Pack Backpack
I adore this backpack and I can not wait until Maxwell is able to use it. At the present moment he has a backpack for nursery but I have put this away for him to enjoy in the next few months. I am looking forward to seeing him use it as it has tons of storage space and has a funky design.

Bear Side Table
This is such unusual prize however it is one of my favorite prizes. We are still waiting for delivery on it however I can not wait to put it in Maxwell's play room. There are not many children who can say they have a bear table however Maxwell is one who can!

Munchkin Bath Squirters
These have been placed in the Christmas stocking box as Maxwell currently has a lot of bath toys however I know he will adore these when he opens them at Christmas. With 10 in a box I am sure Maxwell will not get bored of them.

£5
I won £5 on a click to win and although it is not a lot of money, it will purchase Maxwell a little treat which he will enjoy. I love winning money prizes however this is only my 3rd one since I have been entering competitions. 

£50 Amazon Vouchers
I believe I was extremely lucky to win this prize and I am truly thankful for it. As a organised parent I have now got all Maxwell's Christmas and Birthday presents however I still have 2 presents left to buy. I have not bought them as they are a little too big to store however this voucher will buy the 2 presents left in a couple of months time! We will now have some extra money to spend on a family day out.
