A lovely win

Looking forward to this weekend as I won a night in a 4 star hotel in Marble Arch, then VIP tickets to London Fashion Weekend on Sunday which includes a goody bag, a catwalk show and entrance to LFW. With the prize letter came a whole lot of Sharpies as the prize was won with Company magazine and Sharpies. We bought Ghost Stories tickets from a comper for £10, so will be seeing that on Saturday night, so a wonderful weekend. I am still waiitng for my MPORA prize which is a YEARS worth of skate clothes, hoodies, decks, shoes, etc. cannot wait for that to be delivered!

My first blog

Well, this is a first. Never saw myself as an Internet blogger, but thought I may as well make a start. Have decided to start with a comping blog, but will expand to others later once I have the hang of it. Best to start with something I know about...
I have been comping now for over 8 years and have won some fantastic prizes in that time- everything from a 3 week touring holiday of New Zealand to a naked butler for two hours.
So far this month I have won 16 prizes ranging from a owning a racehorse for the day (actually two days- day at the stables and a day at the races) to the launch of  a new No7 product with £150 goody bags. I'll say one thing- comping always delivers interesting and exciting prizes.
I usually win 10-20 prizes per month, but then I do spend at least 4 hours per day in front of the computer and a lot more on weekends, but more of that later.
