My husband and I were planning our wedding and after looking at our finances decided we would not be able to afford the church wedding we wanted so reluctantly we decided to call it off, in the meantime I had entered a comp in a local paper to win £1000 worth of wedding stuff, the day after we called it all off I recieved the news I had won (never won a thing before this!!)
We were so surprised and uplifted we went forward with our wedding and although it was tough we paid for and arranged it all ourselves and it was the best day of our lives!!

An Easter competition. I had to hard boil a normal chicken's egg and then place it in some sort of a setting. I can't remember what I did exactly but I remember some of the other winning entries, like a speedboat with the egg as the driver and someone else made a goose out of white feathers and plasticine, laying a golden egg. The amount of people who did Humpty Dumpty was innumerable although my brother made a musical note, which unfortunately didn't win him anything.
The prize: an Easter egg!

I used to work for a well known UK travel agents and I entered a national competition which was open to every single worker in the whole company. The prize was to win an Audi TT and I won it!!! Was really pleased as you can imagine especially as I had not long passed my test and couldn't afford a car but unfortunatly all the girls in my travel agents were really jealous and pi$$ed off with me and didnt talk to me as I had only been there 3 weeks so they didn't think I deserved to win. I left shortly after anyway. NEW JOB, NEW CAR!

6-a-side league at Reading University! Won the league in a Play-off classic, winning 3-2 coming back from 2-1 down and my mate scored the winning goal running the whole length of the pitch, superb!

I had to build a structurally strong bridge from paper and cardboard. in junior school. We could choose one of three bridge types: arch, beam or Suspension. I chose beam, as it was the simplest. I built a bridge (loo rolls for legs, packed with specially folded cardboard/paper) that withstood a weight of 4.5 Kgs. The teacher stopped then, but I'm sure it could have carried more. I my bridge took the biggest weight by far. I won a packet of sweets. (Great, as I was only about 10!)

It was in a supermarket, I got a big posh food mixer, I took home all the entry forms, filled them all out and won, was loads of work but worth it. I really really wanted that mixer!
