Moany moan whinge whinge

Not won a bean in sooooo long. Totally giving up hope. I started a doctorate last week and I'd love to carry on comping, but it just seems that we aren't winning a single thing, ever! I have to ask myself if it's worth the time :( We had 2 fab years, and I'm grateful for what I have won this year although it isn't nearly as much... Come on comping fairy! I need some luck/motivation here...:cool:
2008-2011: £23k of wins :eek:

2012 best win so far: iPad 2!!!! Holiday to Austria (given to family member) :j also £100 & 2 wine cases
Thank you so much, all posters :beer:

    Good luck, wins seem to come in feasts and famins, maybe just commit yourself half an hour a day and just do the ones you really want ie. money :o

    i would not be moaning if i had won what you have in the past couple of years. you want to be grateful, alot of people win nothing at all. i think you may be alittle bit greedy

    I agree with Kirst. I do so get fed up with people moaning on here about lack of wins when they have stated they won thousands in their sig.
    Thank you all who post.

    Good luck hun, hope you win soon. The golden rule is just stay in control ...comping (as you may know :D can be truly addictive) but it motivates me a lot to have something to look forward to..
    In the end of the day, your degree will be the biggest win of all, and it will be worth some compromise.. I am also sure you will get that odd hour when your brain is saturated with work and you want a break (been there)

    You're mad saying you want to give up cos you're not winning much, cos what you actually need to do is enter for more :rotfl:

    Lean spells try the patience of the best of us :mad: But the best advice is to keep at it.

    My goodness, what a fantastic year you had last year, I've never had anything like that in my life. What did you do? How did you do it? I think you need to do more of the same..............

    Good luck :)
