2019 a year of winning.

Looking back over 2019 competition wins I had a very lucky year with my prize total being just over a whopping 15k!! Yes 15k!! At the begin of the year I struggled for time and motivation winning is not always easy, as in all honesty the more you enter the more you win! (Of course there has to be a bit of luck too!).

How do I find time with 3 kid, work, a house and the adventures?

I try my hardest not to waste time, 90% of the time I go on social media is to comp. I’m one of them people that would just keep going all day I dont just sit down for a cuppa or watch something on the tv (in my eyes wasted time 😛). I like to keep my mind busy so I comp I have always had a lot of energy and been a bit loopy. Somrtimes I will sit for 15 mins for a quick cuppa will comping and other times I can do hours 🤣🙈

we won a family day out at gulliver’s travel

Well what a fabulous year I had I won so many amazing prizes. I love winning it’s not all about the big prizes I love the little ones too. Especially when they come from new brands, small businesses and handmade. Know words can describe what it feels like when you win a big prize though. My whole shakes with excitement, winning £2000 love holiday voucher defently had my smiling and shaking last year! The kids have been well and truly spoilt and in total for birthdays and Christmas I spent a massive £10!! Yes!! I cant believe it myself I won them every single present and stocking filler (I choose to buy 2 personalized items for Ivy that’s all I paid for 😛). I was lucky to win alot of vouchers this year they really make a difference being able to get what you really want.

Family wise this I spent £65 for Christmas in total not bad considering my family is massive! My mum has been spoilt rotten on her birthday and mothers day with toiletries bundles for both worth around £200 when usally I only spend £20! I won all of James he got a bottle of rum, a camping stove and 6 months sock snob subscription for Christmas. I love so much sharing my prizes with freinds and family. We had a day out gulliver’s travel, I had a facial with my mum, than a facial for me & 3 freinds, a night away, a afternoon tea and a breakfast or too! I truly do love my hobby 😛

A bit about My Crazy Family of 5!

Hi my name is Jolene I’m a mum of 3 that loves a family adventure. I have 1 year old Charlie, 3 year old Ivy and 7 year Stanley. My partner and I have a great love of the outdoors and so do our children (and dog tilly). While we not off having adventures I work 8 hours a week and James works loads and spend a few full days away from home. So I fill my time spare with entering competitions and I love it. I also do of bit of products testing and am a absolutely bargain hunter!

I’m planning on sharing our adventures with you, comping tips, scrimping tips and a bit of my life!

I’m honestly not the best at writing or spell so please dont judge me 🤣🙈
