    ello :)

    Just wondered whether there was anyone out there who'd been comping for a long time and yet to win anything?

    I've only just started out so don't expect any wins just yet :) but wondered what keeps you motivated if you've been doing it for years and never won anything?

    Hi Burp

    Hope you get your first win soon...it's a fab feeling no matter how small the prize!! :beer:

    I started comping in May and won a Galaxy book almost straight away :p July wins are in my sig (July has been my best month). It does take a while to start getting some decent wins, but for me it's a choice between this and watching cBeebies :rotfl:

    HTH:D

    I started in Feb this year and took me 8 weeks to get my first win, was only comping halfheartedly then too.

    Now I do comps religiously every night and for the last two months have won 5/6 prizes a month.

    If you put enough time and effort in, the prizes will come and you won't have to wait years!!

    Good luck! :D
    Thanks to all who post comps!

    Hi Burp, I first started comping in November and my first prize came two weeks after that, i won the 100th prize winners prize on the brantub daily draw(now ended). In any single month that i've been entering, i've never not won anything, but when the wins are slow i like to look at the pictures of the wins thread and that keeps me motivated. Hope you get your first win soon! :D x

    I started in Feb this year and won a Nintendo Wii in the first month :D

    Which led me to become addicted haha!!
    Im sure you will win something soon, remember to enter small competitions to. :)

    I think i was very lucky with my first win, in my second month i also won a DAB Radio. Since then i have won small but often :) would like more biggies though but who wouldnt lol!
