Comments

Good Luck with your challenge and I hope you are lucky in finding a job soonBig Thanks to all those who post competitions you are stars!0

Best of luck to you, I think this can be done as when i was comping a lot a year or two ago I was winning on average easily minimum wage in value. Stay optimistic and positive and who knows...:D0

as everyone I wanna wish you all the luck in the world, comping is fun and I think you could make a living off it as all you need is 4 big prizes a year (money, TV, Holiday etc). the only problem i would see would be if you won a holiday you wouldnt be able to sell that so you couldnt theoretically earn any money from that.
things like TVs and computers you generally wouldnt win more than one a year unless extremely lucky.
I think commitment will be the big test especially when you are not winning anything major or valuable during your dry periodBlessed on 18th February 2014 at 0814 with little Sarah xxx0 -
I hope you find something soon.
I'm also currently under the threat of redundancy. I actually have my 1:1 meeting tomorrow. I work for the Police. Fingers crossed!Fantastic Expectations Amazing Revelations0 -

not much yet - xmas hamper. mini bottle of booze and a book
however YES I CAN make a living from comping.
Got a meeting next week to discuss me running a new comping website, twitter and facebook.
