  • Keep at it. I enter loads and loads of comps everyday and don't win much at all compared to what I enter. Having said that won a designer handbag today which is my first win of October. Keep entering, if you don't enter you won't have a chance at winning. Good luck
    Good Luck to everyone

    I can only repeat keep at it and enter for the little prizes as well as the big ones- a small win can give you a boost.
    Also remember look at the end dates .Some of the competitions you have entered might not have been drawn yet and some companys take an age to send out prizes.I received a prize out of the blue in September from a Mother's Day Competition!Good Luck.
    Thanks to all posters. You're all angels:A

  • Just keep entering the ones u want to win. I have been comping since august and had a few instant wins that month.Last month I won a crunchie and £50 on bonkers Mcvities.This month I've won a crunchie. Not much but I'm happy with them.Never had a win yet from a competition where they pick your name out but I enjoy entering comps that I like the look of the prize. Its a good little hobby so keep at it and u may be lucky soon. Do u do the daily comps?

    How do you enter competitions on twitter, do you have to join and how do you find them? i have never been on twitter.
    thanks for any help

  • I don't know if this had any bearing on my not winning anything..but my email inadvertently had the word 'boob' in it....I never once received a WEM. I recently changed my email to avoid it being caught up in any spam filters...and hey presto....the WEM's are coming at least once a week...

    I would advise everyone to ensure there are no 'unsuitable' words in your email...

    I may be wrong...but I may be right :D
    Back on it!
