I started comping following an accident at work and was left unable to walk for almost a year whilst it healed. I haven't been able to kick the habit since though. I have had lots of lovely wins and I don't expect to win so when I receive an email or a letter with a win it is great whether its a £5 voucher or something bigger. Keep at it - it can be a while before you see any wins and good luck. xx2017 wins -Biggest wins to date - Holiday to Hawaii (won in 2016 but taking in 2017), trip to New York (2016)0

same here furndire i have been comping since about august last year when i came across mse!I realy enjoy it and see it as more of a hobby i had a big itv win a month after starting but i think its just luck of the draw you have to be in it to win it as everyone says. Some months will be better than others but its great to get that feeling of excitement when you win something even if its just a bar of chocolate lol!I do competitions everyday once housework is done and little one is having a nap!Fingers crossed you get your win soon

I have only just started doing this seriously, i used too do mag comps but never won anything!
then I found this forum and entered a couple and I can't stop:eek:
I am hoping to win a little cash to help with my debts but I'd be happy with a mascara, lol
I love reading the 'i won' threads, some are very heart warming!
good luck to all new and seasoned compers and don't give up!

Hi I comp a lot now.
Mainly due to being disabled and unable to work full time - I now work part time from home updating competitionclub.
I enter betweet 150 and 250 comps a day 7 days a week - totally addicted.
That normally takes me between 2-4 hours a day.
I normally manage to win at least £300 worth of wins a month.
This month has been exceptional with £300 in cash wins alone and over 30 wins!Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!0 -
I work but all my free time I spend comping. It can be rather time consuming!
I enter a lot, don't know how many.
I have been lucky this year winning around £800 of stuff in Jan and around £500 in Feb!Hoping for some lucky dust!0 -
I don't know how many I enter as I usually just go back about 20 pages each day. My first win was a small prize (2 scented candles in little jars) after I'd been comping for 2 months. The more you enter the more chance you have of winning, but I do believe that it's all down to whether or not they pick your name out.0

Hi Cappy123,
I have been comping on and off for the last 3 years. I have been doing it solidly since October last year. I spend about 2-3 hours every evening when the kids are in bed and I don't win very much! But I enjoy doing it and I look on it as more of a hobby - I know one day I will win big and the little wins keep me going until that day
My best win to date was an all expenses trip to Paris to see Robbie Williams about 2 weeks after I started comping everyday back in October :eek: I love reading what people have won and it keeps me motivated.
Good luck and keep at it
March prizes: 6 x Crufts tickets, tickets to Wham live! Heck naked sausages, DVD

I had a few random wins from radio stations as a teenager...... I was a bit of an insomniac and calling in for comps at 2-4 am seems when i won most often. I think scott mills was sick of hearing my voice, lmao.
I wasn't a "comper" then... had no idea was a hobby back then. I think my first win was rimmel makeup... they give away 1000 to 10000 of new items, so good odds on a win.
Dont give up. i started "comping" on maternity leave of my second childs pregnancy. 3.5 years roughly... and just had our first bigggggggg win.
