    too date this year I've had another good year 201 wins so far, some amazing and some only small. my best being a Spa Break to Stoke Park Hotel and Spa staying in a Suite which had a four poster bed and we even had our own separate library. It included all meals and 6 treatments each, plus champs, chocs, fruit bowl and a skin care kit to take home which was worth £150. congrats every one else on your wins too. we are all winners:beer: Comping is a brill hobby

    Well done you lot :T:T

    I think I must be doing something wrong though - entering loads (and I mean loads) and very very few wins - am starting to wonder if it is my email address? Remember someone on here before saying yahoo email wasn't a good idea?


    I wondered about the demographics of entering comps ie sex, age, area maybe some sort of poll would be helpful if I should have the chop "kidding".
    Had ~ 20 minor wins in 5500 comps entered.
    Here's hoping we win what we want and want what we win!!!.

    My Jan 2011 wins: £250 white stuff Fashion clothing vouchers. Thanks WALWIN

    QUIT SMOKING on 4 Jan 2011, feel free Nag me about how im getting on.

    I haven't actually counted how many i've won, but I'd say about 150 or so. :) It's been an excellent year.

    I just worked mine out from the previous " what you won lists each month" and I am over 260 wins this year so far WOW - with still 2 months to go.

    Thanks everyone xx

    Kimmy,

    WOW how on earth have you done so well with all those wins? Do you spend alot of time comping? Have you any advice for a mum of two boys that would love a couple of suprises now and myself of course for all the hardwork i do ;)

    Seems like its luck of the draw as some people are real winners and a few get minimal, im sure i just read someone got 20 wins in over 5000 entries is that something that happens alot or down to what you pick and where you enter comps?

    Im just about to read the hints and tips thread and maybe give myself a little knowledge before comping.

    Thanks

    Hi skyrage, Yes I have entered over 5k of comps in 3 months and this takes me on average of 3 hours a day over this period, Im not going to give up on this just yet as im in it for the being part of something with like minded peeps than just outright winning.

    Hugs to all.
    Here's hoping we win what we want and want what we win!!!.
