    My problem is even if i dont win very often im to stubborn to give up!! :)

    If i dont enter then i sure as hell definatly wont win so might aswell get my name in the hat, at the moment im having abit of a "i cant be arsed" attitude so there fore i am only entering the competitions that stand out or i really really want to win, i normally have a break then come back ready to enter as many as i can in one day. Sometimes im sad and set little missions to see how many competitions i can manage to enter in one day and then the next day try to beat that record :D lol

    Agree with so many - have a break - sometimes its having the time to enter them as well.

    Also when you seem to be entering lots and not winning you wonder if its worth it - looking at what others has sometimes helps but also think back on what you have won yourself and remember how excited you were when the postman turned up with a delivery - I love seeing my ds face when he has a parcel turn up.

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:

    Like many others i love looking at the IWIWIW page - because obviously someone is winning the comps big or small - so it could be you one day! In it to win it remember!!!!

    i have started to enter again after a few weeks off, i do miss doing them but also hate trying to find the time!

    I started comping in January and its the wins that keep me going, i had not entered any comps for a few weeks during March/April whilst moving house and got a couple of wins from ones i had entered before. This time round i just have too much on also have wandered to the weddings section of the forum as getting wed next year and once again after not entering any have had a couple of wins :D

    take a break and then build up to it again.x
    would love to win an ipad!

    As everyone else has said really. If you are losing motivation, take a break for a while then come back to it. I find reading about other people's wins or something unexpected arriving through the post usually pearks me up again if I'm feeling fed up of it :)
    Thanks to all posters!
