    yeah it would!

    I missed out on a couple of days so now feel behind- that makes you lose the impetus somewhat. But I've got a couple of hours tonight to dedicate to it tonight so should get a fair few entered. Being busy at work doesn't help as I started during a reaaaalllly slow week and now don't get any time in the day!

    It's like an itch you can't scratch :P

    I was so busy last summer I stopped for 3 months and even after that I only managed sporodic comping, but now I am determined to get back into it!
    Sometimes I think its good to have a little break, there is no point in doing something like this if you aren't enjoying it. I always read about others wins and think that could be me tomorrow! you just never know when you are going to be lucky!
    If I win anything at all I'm excited! but I do try to only enter competitions that I really would like the prize. Otherwise I think if I were to win I'm cheating someone out of something they'd love! :)
    Hope the comping fairy is looking down on us all and sprinkling us with good luck! :A
  • I keep losing it and then getting it back. I had quite a long break last year and only just started back again in January.
    Still waiting for the big win but no sign of it so far (even though i get over excited over the small ones as well) :D

    Im tipping loads of fairy dust on us all.

    The comps I enter are usually for things that I think will be lovely for my (small) family and best friend. I get so much pleasure just imagining their faces when I give the prize...hasn't happened yet, but just seriously started comping the middle of Feb.I'm not naturally lucky so this is a huge step for me; to enter...but hopeful that will change. Not sure how I will feel if I don't win anything, even very small wins are a thrill, but hope I still keep trying and not get disheartened.

    Good luck to all of you! :)

    How many comps is everyone entering per week on average? I entered over 500 that ended 28th Feb and all I won is a creme egg beachball and a few free samples of creme and lip salve that I requested. I am new to this and cannot possibly type out forms or autofill them any faster. I only use one email addy, surely you cannot use more unless you have a variety of other home addresses to use and most t & C's is one entry per household? Am I getting it all wrong?

    It's just blind luck I think. Like the lottery but with better odds of winning something, however small.

    Remember that even though the comp ends of 28th Feb in the terms and conditions a lot of prizes are announced a couple of weeks or a month after that end date. So March might be a good month! Don't give up.
