My first win! And a question for y'all :)

Options


I won my first competition! It was just a book, but it was a really big buzz - I think this actually sates my craving for retail therapy, this is like window shopping but better! :)


A question to everyone out there, how many hours a day/week do you spend comping and how often do you win? I know its very random, but I'm curious. :)



Good luck everyone! :beer:

  • Well done :j:j

    I comp every day ...usually 2 to 3 hours a day...sometimes a little more sometimes less...

    I won 3 times today but have gone weeks with not a peep of a win :o

    But, I've only been comping 7 months or so and I'm dead chuffed with my wins :D

    And I won't sit down and I won't shut up
    And most of all I will not grow up! :p

    Hi fieryfire,

    I've been comping since August. I enter about a 1000 comps per week. Some days are more than others depending on what I'm doing. I don't manage to comp much at weekends but I try to comp every evening from 7pm until bed which is usually about 12 or 1.

    Very happy with my wins so far and yes I have become addicted. :D

    Well done on your first win!

    Wow, some of you put alot of effort in with the hours you spend entering, you definately desrve some lovely wins!

    I have young children so I don't manage to comp as much as I would like, I spend a few hours in the morning before my youngest wakes up and that's all I can usually manage. I have done extremely well this year, not as great as some but I'm very pleased with each and every win.
    Comping wishlist for 2017

    The more you put into life, the more you get out

    2-3 hours a day, I win something every week and had a couple of big ones - considering I only started seriously in July I'm quite pleased with my performance so far :)
