Giving up...for now!!

I've been dry now since November so I simply can't justify the effort any more! (Not sure if I did anything to offend the comping fairy!)
I think I'll give it a miss for a while and maybe try again after the summer.

Good luck everybody, I'll still be looking in on the winners from time to time!

    Oh no that's a shame I've only been comping for a week or so, so haven't experienced the tension and anxiety on waiting for a win yet, hope I don't have to wait too long though, lol!

    Anyway, hope your luck changes soon, fingers crossed!:wave:

    You know that these dry months aren't going to last, the ONLY sure thing about luck is that it changes.

    I'd stick with it at least a little ..like the ITV comps and dailies...just in case :)

    Hope things improve soon.

    I always find after a dry patch its best to take a break.. and then what happens is... 2 weeks into the break you get a win just turn up and then you find yourself back on here doing them!...

    I tend to agree with you on this one, not the best of months for me as yet, not sure if I am in the positive frame of mind and for some reason positivity and winning go hand in hand for me, but I am plodding on slowly at the moment, as you never know when a decent win is around the corner ;)
    LUCK COMES TO THOSE WHO WAIT PATIENTLY :)

    Comping can be time consuming and when you don't win that can turn into a drag.

    I've felt like that from time to time and had a break but found that when i've come back i've missed out on those comps where practically everyone wins, or at least stands a good chance. Y'know, those 10,000 mascaras or once there was win 1 of 100 washing machines (which I missed :eek: )

    If you're coming back to look in on us how about you just scan the comps pages for the multiple wins - that way you're not spending ages entering but you've still got your hand in and a chance of a nice treat coming through.

    I have been doing comping regularly since the beginning of 2009 and have only won little bits (you can see from my Signature). I could never take a break from it though, in case I missed out on a biggie. :j

    Hopefully the comping fairy will be visiting you soon!
