    Looking at all these wins really does inspire me. I have only been comping for a month and I have only won a koala (which hasnt arrived yet) but it gives me the incentive to keep at it (even if my OH thinks it is a total waste of my time)

    Mine used to be like that. Now he expects me to win him everything on demand:rotfl: A lot of comps you've entered wont have even been drawn yet. I find the first two weeks of the month are usually the best for getting prizes, then the last couple of weeks it dies down.

    I've been comping since August but prob only manage 2 comping blitzes a week (about 2 hours hard at it!) - I miss absolutely tons because I can't help entering the cute little ones too as I love the little prizes nearly as much as the big ones! So far my bigger/fave wins have been:

    DKNY bag
    VIP Editors tickets
    Warhorse theatre ticks
    £75

    and loads of lovely little wins like my album cover stamps last week and tons of mascaras!!

    I wish I could spend more time on it but I am happy with my lovely prizes. Thanks to all that post comps:beer:

    I'm more of a casual comper. I started comping about september/october time during bonkers competition. Best wins have been:

    £400 on bonkers
    iPod Classic
    £250 itunes vouchers
    DSi
    £60 Visa
    Various vouchers

    Not many biggies, but then again, I don't always enter competitions, only when I have time. This month, I've probably only entered about 200 competitions in total lol. I'm just getting busier.
  • Wow i haven't won anything good yet really lol well no 'big' wins......But they'll come....in timeeeeeee!
