    I've not won anything in a while, was wondering if there's a better system to comping then what I'm doing.

    I order posts by date and just work through the ones ending over the next few days, always a day or two ahead (just done comps ending 5th March). I only enter one's where I'd love to win or if it's for something that somebody I know would love. I do dailies when I can, weeklys on mondays and monthlys at the beginning of the month. I don't really keep track of what I've entered or anything, just work through posts and cross my fingers.

    So what do you think, sound like an ok "system"? lol

    Would love a good ITV win as about £3000 would totally clear all my niggly little credit/storecard debts and since I lost my job would really be a godsend!

    I only started comping in January, having strayed onto the site, tried last year with another website (not very good), as you can see in my signature I have won more than a few times, I get quite a buzz, went home today and posty left a red card, 'your parcel in brown bin', that is the garden recycling bin, a bit whiffy!, got all excited, was a power down plug from eon, all their customers getting them free! I agree will others, some peeps only getting prizes from last year!! If you miss a day, so what, I have days where I do not comp at all, do not feel bad about it, I only use one email and one phone number.

    Do not give up, take a day/week off, and start again, gotta say, I fancy doing a month on month off.

    I have lost my MOJO!! Totally :(

    Have recently had alot of bad news aswell. Split up with my boyfriend who was my best friend. So feel totally deflated at the moment and hoped Comping would take my mind off of everything but instead i cant seem to concentrate. The lack of Wins is making it hard to carry on. I think im loosing the Comping Bug. :( My first year of Comping was pretty good, but this year has been very POOR.

    I am still convinced its something to do with AOL closing my account for "spamming" as it got hacked and now my IP or something is classed as a Spammer. As i usually get a few little regular wins. HERE IS TO A GOOD WIN SOOOOON!!!

    I think it is easy to feel like you are not winning anything, but then out of the blue a prize will arrive and it really perks you up. I had a good year last year and so far this have won nothing big this year but I don't think I will give up because you never know what is around the corner. When I read all the wins on MSE I do think maybe the next big win could be me!

    I've totally lost mine. I had a crap Feb and nothing yet in March. With a young little one, I would get in as many comps betweens naps and feeds but just can't be bothered at the mo.

    Was going to try and enter 200 a day in March but have entered a big fat 0 so far!

    I've barely done any comps at all for the last 5 months, had too many other things on. The wins continued to trickle in though but I've had nothing since Jan. I know there will come a time when I will want to get back into it but, at the minute I don't get any enjoyment out of entering comps so I'm not going to bother doing more than a few a week

    Good luck to everyone who feels a bit disheartened
