    Keep entering, you need to be in it to win it. Comps you have entered may not be finished till later and prizes often take a month to arrive. Good luck

    Do keep going, it took me 3 months to win my first prize and I had got very disheartened by that point, but your first win will arrive. And it is so good when it does!
    Don't give up!

    Don't think of it as a "have to win" think of it as a hobby, a way to pass time, and that everything that happens is then a bonus!:D This is not a past time for the impatient or the greedy. Fate deals your hand here , and some you win , some you lose. Just be thankful when you get anything and remember to thank those who made it possible for you.:A Above all enjoy your time on the boards. Be happy for others when they win 'cause when you win they will genuinely be happy for you. Relax and let fate take its course........ and smile .... life is far tooo short to worry:beer:

    cg1982 - I thought you won loads on virgin and the glamour comps??? :confused: more than some people have won all year!!!

    Don't be disheartened if you have only just started. remember that most of the comps will have probably had an end date that hasn't finished yet, and some take ages to get back to you. Something will come eventually...... and then usually loads at once!!!! :D:D

    If you are feeling a bit down about it pop into this forum and see how many others are winning such lovely prizes - it always perks me up again!!!! ;)

    Good Luck!

    As everyone else has said; you need to stick with it. Something will come along eventually. :)
