Anyone else having a dry spell?

Is it just me or is anyone struggling to win anything at the moment? :( It's been weeks since I won anything and I am starting to get a bit fed up and thinking of having a break for a while!!

Love hearing about other people's wins just wish I could post one!!

Anyway, moan over!! Thanks to all posters and fingers crossed that everyone else gets some wins :)

    It's the same for me. :(

    I know this sounds really bad and I have no proof but I have a suspicion that my postman or the sorting office are not being very honest. A lot of my mail has gone missing and when I recieve any letters the envelopes are are always torn open.

    However I still live in hope! :)

    Yes to dry spell-I had a good start to comping but nothing of note since March.I enter the following every day Drench,McVities,Lucozade,Ping,Copella as well as tonnes of others.Reading the" I Won "column is really encouraging though and at least I did have some wins early on.The kids want me to keep going so I'd better crack on......

    Thanks to all you posters out there-I'll find one to post one day!!!

    I can sympathise. I've been entering competitions for months with only 3 little wins, but at last my dry spell has ended. This week I've won a tv and a wii with goodtoknow and, after months of spinning that sodding bottle, some cereal. Just as I was about to give up entering and wasting my time. So have hope. Good luck everyone xxx

    I'm having no luck at all! I won some tickets a few weeks ago (very grateful!) but nothing before or since for weeks - not even a mascara! And that dorset cereals comp definitely hates me - nothing and I've done it everyday for months and months - I'd really just like some cereal. Please send me some luck and to everyone else who is feeling fed up xxx
