    glad to see im not the only one it feels like all i do is comps(around 100 ish a day) and yet to win anything,
    in fact i went to a church thingy and they had 10 prizes to be won in a raffle and only 4 of us bought any tickets, and can you guess how many i won????? yep nowt that unlucky i am
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • ive been doing the comps on here for about 6 weeks now and have not won anything yet either, but its early days..someones got to win and you've got to be innit to winnit so i will carry on and see...dont give up!!!

    Most of the time - prizes just turn up and I find many are from competitions posted atleast a month before. I also think that to win, you have to think positive. :)

    I've been comping since Oct 08 & haven't won a thing, either! I do between 20-50 comps per day, big & small, & not had a dickie-bird!

    Reading the wins on here keeps me going! That & the chance to wipe the smile off DH's face, cos we regularly have the same conversation:

    Him: What are you doing?
    Me: Entering my comps! (whilst furiously bashing details onto my laptop!)
    Him: Oh yes......I can't get in the house at the moment, as the hallway is just piled high with parcels containing all the stuff you've won!! :rolleyes:
    Me: Grrrrrrrrrr!!! :mad:

    So now I'm determined to prove him wrong & win a biggie!! lol!!

    Good luck!!

    Everything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:
  • Prove him wrong and win a few biggies! Including ones he would like lol.

    Do you use the google tool bar "auto fill" ? makes things a little easier.
    Ask.. Believe.. Receive..

    Every Accomplishment Starts With The Decision To Try
  • When I started the comp ending lists were about & I won a few things which got me hooked. Now I enter as they are posted & try to keep no more than a day or so behind. My first prize was a poster & CD that I sold for £30 after thinking what the hell am I going to do with that! My next prize a pair of boxing tickets sitting in row 3!!!! Since then I win one prize in about 400 entries. Last year I won almost £10K of prizes. It is also like buses & you will get loads all together.
  • I started doing comps two weeks ago and won today !!.
    its not that you hav'nt won anything , its you have not won YET.

    good luck x

    I posted on this thread the other day, having won a bottle opener but I won 50 itunes today! It's really cheered me up and made me determined to keep going.
    To those who haven't won anything, you're bound to eventually. So lots of luck from me!! xxx
