    You may have already won something, hun, if you have been entering competitions for a while, some just turn up in the post without informing you via email or telephone call. It sometimes takes a while, but please don't give up hope, the feeling you'll get when you get your first win is amazing!!

    Lots of good luck :)

    How many do you enter each day?
    I've had a great past 2 years for wins but so far this year i've won nothing! I enter over 100 every day but my luck seems to have run out.

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Kymmie, I do dozens and dozens of comps every day, hundreds per day on busy days, and I haven't won a thing since last autumn. I'm getting really cheesed off lately and wondering why I bother, but I keep trying to stay positive in the hope that the big one is just round the corner. Right now, I would settle for a few little ones!

    Keep trying, I won some Cadburys chocolate at the end of February and that was my first win ever. Also some competitions go on a long time, I went to do one today and realised I'd already done it middle of Feb and its still running, till the end of the this month I think.

    There may be a prize out there waiting for you, it just hasn't been drawn yet.
    Woofles you need to get out of that house. You are going insane:eek: - colinw

    apologises for spelling mistakes - google toolbar and I have had a hissy fit and I've lost me spell checker.

    aww it can seem like a lot of effort for nothing sometimes doesn't it. How many comps are you entering? Just to give u an idea i started subscribing to the threads of the comps i entered and i have entered over 780 competitions on this site in 6 days.... and i dont enter most of the holiday ones (there seem to be alot of those) or things i dont need or want so am sure some people go for more.

    Also as someone else said u could have already won something but it hasn't arrived yet....am still waiting on a win from the first week in january so it can take a while *** fingers crossed for you ***

    Bingo. I have been comping since I was a little kid entering Blue Peter competitions and have never had a "big" win but then the other day I won concert tickets and it was all worth it so hang on in there and as Cheznal says you may have already won something.
    The only competition you can't win is one you don't enter so keep trying. We all feel the way you do sometimes.
