    Do you guys not get bored entering all this competitions and finding you hardly ever win.
    I entered so many I lost count, and won nothing, so now I don't bother#1!

    You never get bored of entering, like someone said earlier on in the board you've got to be in it to win it and its the excitement of getting home after a long days work to find a parcel sitting on your doorstep, its like christmas even if it is only a small win!

    Keep motivated, our time will come :p

    Keep going everyone. :j
    I had just about given up last year when I won a £800 Limited edition steam washing machine through sky. :D I was only doing a couple of comps now and then, I don't do as many as I used to when I started comping, but in my 15 months comping on mse I've won the washer, 32" flat screen tv, £200 mobile phone, Ipod nano and quite a lot smaller items.
    Not may dvd/cd/books though.
    I just need my holiday to California now :p

    Don't forget that a lot of the comps that you entered over the past couple of months probably haven't ended yet. They may all end at once and you'll be inundated with parcels ;)

    I have been very lucky ~ within my first month of Comping i have had a few small wins, books tshirts, chocolates and a Wii and DAB Radio. I know that is more than some people have won over a longer period of time so im greatful, however at the moment im feeling a little unlucky. lol

    I would like a win to pick me up but really dont mean to sound greedy, i was close to not spending anymore time on competitions but then my friend did reminded me....giving up definatly wont bring in a win!! lol :)

    I enter a lot of competitions aday, i dont keep track but i know its alot..goodluck to everyone and bring in the wins!!!! lol
