            March was my first month of comping and i have managed to win a koala :j:j0
- 
            I started comping 15 weeks ago and so far March has been pretty crappy . .
 I have won a Cushelle Koala (it started to get personal), a Cadbury's Cream Egg beach ball and a box of Thornton's Melts. I know it's better than nothing and I know that I probably sound like a stroppy teenager who didn't get an x-box for Christmas, but I have entered every competition going (except fo the text ones), even competitions where I didn't particularly want the prize!! I'm at home rcovering from surgery at th moment, so have nothing to do apart from enter competitions, but it is starting to feel like a waste of time. Am I expecting too much?
 Edit - sorry that should be 5 weeks of comping, not 15.0

            5 weeks, yes you prob are expecting too much. Some comps might not have even been drawn yet. Hang in there, keep entering and you'll see some rewards xOLYMPICS CHALLENGE :Win £2012 in 2012: 0/£2012

 Keep at it. You will see the results but it does take time. 5 weeks of comping is nothing at all. As an example, the Hello Kitty Purse and Magnet I won last week appears to be from a comp from June last year! :eek: The R&B CD that arrived for me this month was from a competition that closed in December. I had a prize arrive towards the end of last month for a comp that closed in November. A lot of comps you enter today - won't end for several weeks/months. It can then take weeks/months for a winner to be drawn and prizes to be sent out. If after 3 months of entering approx 100+ comps a day, you haven't won...then I'd be concerned!
 To give you an idea, I keep a record of the amount of comps I enter each day/Month (just a simple tally, totalled onto a spreadsheet). In December I entered 2976, in January I entered 3323, Feb I entered 3176, for March I have entered 2662 so far (but I am way behind now that I have started working full time). The longest I have been without a prize since December, is 5 days. If you put in the hours consistently the odds are stacked in your favour. Ultimately it is down to luck but you can do lots to increase your chances! 
 Don't give up those that have only recently started, be patient and the wins will come. Comping is meant to be fun and enjoyable, not a chore. I find it relaxing and a welcome distraction from "life" to sit filling in online forms for a couple hours each day. It's a lovely bonus when the postie then brings me something nice :D                        :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0 :D                        :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0
