A comping challenge

Its 2011 and I decided to set myself a new comping challenge for the year. I know its February but I had to think about something that would be a real challenge and was not just a list of things I wanted to win. I love winnning things but rather like the random surprises that turn up though the door. Doing a list of things did not really seem like a challenge, more a list of demands to the comping fairy.

Anyway I have decided to see if it is possible to win a prize a day in 2011. The rules are simple:

  • One prize winning instance is one prize. You could have a prize made up of 10 things but it counts as one. If you win a couple of the same things but at different times that counts as two.
  • You can only enter for things you want to win, you are not allowed to enter for the sake of it. Entering for friends counts though.
  • You  don’t have to actually win one thing a day, the total at the end of the year has to add up to the number of days in the year.
  • It has to be fun and not a chore.

So lets see if its possible. If you would still like a challenge but are not sure about a prize a day, go for a prize a week instead.  I would love to know who is planning on joining this challenge so we can see if we make it at the end of the year. Please comment below if you want to join the fun.

  1. Quite the challenge – I look forward to hearing about your wins and see your total grow. I’m going for one prize a week… 52 prizes by the end of the year *should* be possible right?! Ha ha!

  2. Count me in, think i’ll do the one a week though as i have my exams coming up soon, so wont be able to spend as much time as i would like entering.
    Good luck to everyone xx

  3. I’ll join in, but will have to go for 1 a week I think, as it’s really slow at the moment, last month was slightly below my usual monthly tally, this is month is terrible so far.
