My wins have dried up

There's usually between 10 and 16 ish new pages of comps each day when I come on and I enter about half off each page. Sometimes more sometimes less. It takes me about 30 minutes in the morning before work, an hour after work and an hour in the evening.
I don't know how many comps that is, maybe 100 to 200 ish. It feels like a lot but I do enjoy it. I love getting post too, even tokens for free packs off butter or dog food make my day
But nothing beats getting the postie knocking on your door with a parcel. That is sooo exciting. I feel like a kid at Christmas when that happens.

I do around 200 as well. I am at home all day with a small baby so it's quite easy to do a few here and there.
I do all the comps that take my fancy on the main board and a few on the regular comps board. Don't really bother with the instant win games though. They irritate me too much

Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

Same here, at the moment I dont think I could win an argument with a teddy bear. Not going to give up though as the hour it takes me to get home is filled with fantasy dreams of what the postman may have left for me :-) xDebt free by August 2011 or sooner :A0

I tried the big snap but it gave me a funny head.
Those people that do that for any length of time truely deserve to win. I've just not got the stamina for it.0 -
I don't know about you lot but I never care what I win. A few weeks ago I was literally having kittens over the bar of Galaxy Dark I won! It brightened up my whole weekend.
I also love reading about what everyone else has won. I'm always thrilled to bits when a MSE wins a biggie

I totally agree with you. Big snap is most definitely NOT for me.I tried the big snap but it gave me a funny head.

Great to see so many people on here have won vouchers though, my hat goes off to them for having the dedication and stamina to see it through :TThanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

I tend to only enter the instant wins and most of my wins are from them. I have been very lucky this year as I enter relatively few comps (only around 100 a month). I've never managed a big snap win yet though.
My last win was John Frieda hair products which were delivered last weekend.

I've had a great year comps wise!!!! Was in Beverly Hills earlier this year thanks to a competition win, and also recently won some nice new clothes courtesy of Berghaus too.
I take it as the pleasure and pain theory - anytime I've won big it's because something bad has just happened (such as I was only on the Freeview website because I couldn't get a reception the day of the Rangers v Celtic game and noticed the Berghaus comp, entered and won!)Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0
