    The only thing I have ever won was a trip for two for 4 days in New York.

    We won it selling Episode 1 Star Wars books! We were second in the country selling 455 books!

    We won the 4 day break everything but pocket money was paid for, which was fab, and a limited edition print (one of 500 in the World) of one of the cross section pictures of a space ship from the Episode 1 Cross Sections book.

    Two years ago I won flights for two to Paris and as our DS was on work placement in Paris at the time it was very useful!

    Last year DD won a weekend break at Center Parks which she shared with the family!

    I wrote a letter to a pregnancy magazine and because it was made 'start letter' I won an £80 voucher for maternity clothes. It was for a very expensive shop which meant I got a pair of trousers and a cardigan out of it....never wore either!

    OH won £100 on a scratchcard a few weeks ago.

    When I was little I won a colouring competition to go and see Aladdin. When I worked in my last job I won a week in Spain and a skiing holiday in Canada which was beautiful. I haven't won anything for years and years now.

    ALSO
    A super dooper double bed!
    I bought one of those electric adjustable beds , cos my poor old hips! So got entered into the retailers draw. DD2 was after a double and this win came at the right time. It's a super quality top of the range and actually more comfortable than my adjustable!

    I always used to win Pomaine (anyone remember that?) on the school tombola - I was far too young to drink alcohol but no-one seemed to care back then! LOL

    I won a 5 day holiday to New York 5 years ago- it was a competition in a magazine and when the editor rang to tell me I'd won, I thought it was one of DH's mates winding me up so put the phone down. I only realised it was true when the confirmation letter and tickets were sent in the post!
