Talking Congrats to me....

Hey all

It's nice to be back....

Anyhoo I won one of those GIANT (yes it needs caps!) subway subs two weeks ago and man was it good!
All I had to do was buy two things from 'Starmart' and I was in the draw... first thing I ever won in my life! I was pretty stoked.
Ended up sharing it with everyone at work.

What was the first thing You ever won? How long ago was it?

The first thing I ever won was a massive Christmas hamper in a raffle at the Kaikohe A&P show. It was filled with toys. It was WICKED. I was buzzing for weeks. I'll never forget it. I would have been about 8 I suppose.

Lately, I've won a pair of Dirty Dog sunglasses which are very cool and a DVD move called White Noise which was spooky. Oh! AND a bottle of bubbles at the PA lunch I was at the other day.

I've won a few things over the years, but wouldn't consider myself overly lucky, I just enter in lots of competitions

About 15 years ago I was in a Dick Smith store.

The phone rang and the guy beckoned me over.

"talk to this guy", he said.

On the other end of the phone was MoreFM, they were running a competition for a handheld game machine. It was pretty cool toy for it's time.

All I had to do was read of 3 of the games they had a list of!

Couldn't have been easier.

went to collect what I thought was going to be an $80 win on lotto once, turned out to be $800.
You can imagine my joy
I had huge plans for the $80 alone!

I guess you didn't do to well at reading up on your topic

You might not have noticed that this forum is discussing things you might have won in your life.

Or are you trying to explain that you won the degree?

Judging from your request, you don't have a lot of experience writing essay's?
Some punctuation will help.

Boy was THAT Christmas! Thats one I'll never forget...

*sorts it out and renders thread rather confusing to readers who don't know Weetbix is quoting a post that was moved*
