It is VERY slow at the moment!!

Anyone else having a really slow time with their wins at the moment?

My last win was a book for the children even though I have been entering loads!

Think it is because it is almost a year since I won my last BIG win, so it has made me realise things are slow.

I have been very lucky and since 2007, I have won 2 massive wins - a family holiday to Australia and a family holiday to Florida- so I can't complain.

I can't help thinking that I have had all my luck now and should give up (although I thought I had all my luck with the Oz win and another one came along!)

Good luck to everyone - it is great to hear about all your wins and that is what encourages me to keep at it.

Thanks you to everyone who posts them too.

    I can't complain, I had two huge wins in January and a few nice smaller ones since but I do agree with you it is slow, I don't think you should give up just do as many as you can, it does seem to swing up and down, best of luck:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    This year has been dreadfully slow, very little coming in - nothing this month, a few linen sets in March - which still havent arrived - January and February - a DVD! I have never had a biggie - so maybe I'm saving myself for one soon. Best wishes to you and I hope you get a win soon.

    best wishes

  • I've been comping for years and I've never won a 'biggie'. Just luck I s'pose. Maybe one day ;)
