One of my hobbies is entering competitions and this week has been a very lucky one in particular. I’ve won some very nice prizes in the space of a week so I thought the lucky was the perfect word of the week.
My first win was £100 from Mini Cheddars, I was very surprised to see an instant winning message. I like to enter some of the competitions where a purchase is necessary and it certainly paid off this time.
On the same day, I won a pair of tickets to see the Minecraft movie, the kids are going to be very happy about that. There are lots of competitions running at the moment to win Minecraft merchandise, so I have my fingers crossed for a win on those.
I then had an email to say that I had won a £100 Aldi gift card. I do most of my shopping there, so that was perfect. The prizes I like winning the most are vouchers as they are so useful and save me money too.
IKEA have just finished its restaurant refurbishment, and a local radio station was giving away tickets to their opening event. I was delighted to get an email saying I had won. We got a delicious three-course meal and a lovely goody bag each to take home. As an added bonus my comping bestie won as well, so we sat next to her and her family.
I ended the week with another instant win prize of a Pepsi t-shirt. I love winning branded merchandise, especially clothing.
Aside from competition wins, we’ve been lucky to have had plenty of blue skies this week. It’s still been chilly, but those clear blue skies do lift the spirits somewhat.
This week has flown by so quickly, I can’t believe it’s the last day of February already. I’m looking forward to a brand new month hopefully filled with as much luck as this past one.
I’m linking up with Anne from Raisie Bay for Word of the Week.
Lucky is such a lovely word for the week – well done on your competition wins, you’ve done really well with them! Hope the kids enjoy the Minecraft movie. How lovely that your comping bestie also won tickets for the IKEA opening event too. It’s been nice to have some blue skies this week too. #WotW
Wow! Well done with all of your wins!! I used to enter a lot of competitions and won a few amazing things but nothing for years! I am so pleased for you, all the prizes are fantastic! Have a fab time at the Minecraft movie, we’re planning on going to see it when it’s released. x
WOW! That was indeed very lucky and I must say I love winning vouchers too – then you can buy things you really want/need.
Get you! Well done on all of your wins, that’s amazing. I used to love comping and after reading this, it’s made me want to start it up again.
Hope this month is just as lucky for you! xx
Well done on all your wins. I don’t enter competitions as much as I used to, I think you’ve inspired me now. I never win anything on those instant win things though, so extra well done for that and the meal at IKEA looks nice. I’ve never eaten there, I’ve only been once as ours is a bit far away.
Fill us in on how to do these competitions too! Anyway, congrats on your lucky streak. My fave is the Aldi one. That’s so useful. Long may your lucky streak continue. Have a lovely weekend too.
