In November I put out a request for my blog readers to tell me their 'Superlucky Stories' – comping tales that have been inspired by my blog or comps that I've posted on the SuperLucky Facebook page! It's fair enough me banging on about my comping shenanigans and wacky wins, but it's much better to share stories from those of you that have been motivated to take up 'creative' comping yourselves – with great success. It goes to prove with a little bit of effort ANYONE can have a laugh and win prizes at the same time – comping can be a fun hobby for all the family, and Rachael's story today is a prime example!
Everyone who emailed a story is in a draw for a tin of yummy Biscuiteers treats, which will be announced when I've published all the entries. Thanks go to Rachael for today's tale and her kind words about me – I hope you and the family have some wonderful wins this year!

Hello Di,
There are a lot of stories I could tell, and I owe you a endless amount of "Thankyous", for hints and tips you have posted, the linky blog competitions I have entered, your tireless crusade for fairness of competition rules for both promoters and compers, as well as the wonderful updates on your own competition entries, prize adventures and the crafty comps to inspire us.
Since reading your blog (and with your help) I have joined Kempsey Compers – a local competition club in the West Midlands and have attended one meeting so far – which I was buzzing from for weeks!
My children have also participated in many competitions, with my daughter scooping £200 worth of toys last year, as well as taking the spotlight in two newspapers for winning the title of "NFU’s regional young countryside reporter" writing about her brother Peter as a pig who was in need of an ASBO due to his late night slumber parties, resulting from global warming and environmental changes. She even had a certificate at school for her efforts and a lot of praise from her teachers – we were all very proud!
Peter (3) and Hannah (1) between them have won some lovely bits. Hannah has had £10 from Iceland for simply eating one of their sausage rolls and smiling for the camera, Peter won some Scooby Doo DVD's and activity books for colouring in, and in the Galt Toys Fireworks colouring competition you posted, he scooped some squidgy paints!
Even Daddy has joined in, scooping £50 from Argos for the use of a catalogue – he bought a new kettle and doesn't mind making the tea now!
We have participated in spooky pumpkin-making, lots of colouring in and we make our own postcards now after reading your tips to enter contests. I even made a furry tash to enter one contest too! We don't win all the time, but have fantastic fun trying!
Wishing you continued luck for all your competition entries ...and Ryland's!
