    I find comp wins are like buses. You get none for ages and then loads come by all at once. I won't get any for ages now.

    What's your overall total of wins & how many comps do you enter in a day/week?I've won a big fat ZERO and normally enter 5/6 a day which I think is reasonable without going over the top. Too be fair I've only been doing it for 4/5 weeks but be interested in your stats.
    Regards,

    If only I had a pound for every time I used the thanks button :D

    Well I enter every online comp and email comp I can get my hands on (about 15 per day) and about 6 postal ones per week. I win about one in 60 maybe :confused:
