Just listening to the radio and they have a competition on to win cash.

I've entered lots of things in my life but the only thing I recall winning is a cake. It was at DS' school MacMillan Coffee morning this year. Lovely buttercream sponge cake. Yum!

I won a comp on here, it was to send DD to Brazil to watch England in the World Cup in 2014. All flights, tickets, hotels were paid for and she was chaperoned by a rep from Coca Cola. I got to stay at home and watch.

A Teasmade in 1977. Just married and moved into our own house just before Christmas and it was won in a raffle at a local shop. We thought we were really trendy to have something so luxurious that we would never have bought ourselves.

I won a £300 Ikea voucher on here.
