As I've mentioned previously on my blog I go through episodes of entering loads of competitions. Prior to working full time I was entering hundreds of competitions a day! After about a year I had won over £3500 of prizes - so it's well worth entering competitions if you have time. It is very time consuming, hence why I've had to stop entering as many now I'm working full time. A while ago now I wrote a blog post about tips for entering competitions - see here - if you'd like to know where to start :)
After having a horrible meal at my local Pizza Hut, I complained and they sent me a £25 Gift Card. When a meal or restaurant experience isn't what I'd expect then I often complain, I work hard for my money and don't plan on wasting it on meals that a substandard. I'd recommend complaining if you have an unpleasant experience at a restaurant (which hopefully shouldn't be very often). Restaurants often welcome feedback and how can they improve if they don't know what's wrong?
I won this cute noticeboard (RRP £16.99) from Rosey Rose Facebook page (go check it out here - there's every material design you could ever wish for!). It's a medium size notice board and I was given the opportunity to choose which ever fabric I wanted - how lucky?! I chose this Cath Kidston Shooting Star fabric, as I thought it would be perfect for my niece's bedroom.
This is a product I've wanted to try for such a long time - a Tangle Teezer Elite (RRP £10.99)! I won this from Black Beauty & Hair on Twitter (@BlackBeautyMag) and am really excited to try it out!
This is a gorgeous Barbour Picnic Rug (RRP £50) and family day pass to any National Trust location (RRP £40). Barbour have been running a '100 days of Summer', where they were giving away 100 prizes of 100 days! @Barbour were asking people to tweet in pictures of BBQ food/summer days as part of this competition. I tweeted a picture and luckily won!
I got this Renshaw Flower & Modelling Paste (RRP £2.60) for free, as a reward for filling in a lengthy survey!
I won this Funkin' Party Park (RRP £15) from their *Your Bay Your Rules* competition on Twitter.
This is a more random prize, as I'm actually a vegetarian but I won 48 Angus Beef Burgers (RRP £50). I won this from the KK Catering Twitter page.
Do you enter competitions?
Feel free to leave me a comment :)
Wow it shows it really is worth entering competitions!
ReplyDeleteI agree about complaining when service isn't up to scratch, I'm always write an email to head office is I'm not impressed and I often let them know if the service is particularly brilliant too
Great blog, thanks for sending over your link
