It's funny how even the smallest prize can bring a smile to your face when you win. This week has felt really stressful, purely because some small things have cropped up. However this week I have had four winning notifications. The largest of these was an email from litecraft today to let me know I had won their 'Great British Bake-off' inspired competition. The prize was any one of four lights that I got to choose.
I also had a notification from La Redoute that I had won an Abrams and Chronicle book, plus a message from New! Magazine that I have won a packet of Maoam Rhubarb pinballs. Those will be heading straight for my stomach once they arrive. But that doesn't cover all of my wins for this week; I have also won a couple of books and keyrings that I am looking forward to receiving.
Comping is an excellent hobby and can be great fun. There an awful lot of very friendly people out there who are willing to help people new to the hobby understand what they need to do to enter and how to avoid the pitfalls. One of the biggest things has to be people not reading instructions properly and so they end up not entering the competition. That, of course, means that they never win. Since that works the same in exams - people not reading the question properly and so not achieving high grades - I'm just going to go with thinking that it gives me a better chance of winning!
