    Sally WL, many hundreds of people are entering the same competitions to win the few prizes on offer. Competition is getting hotter every day! Enter as a hobby and hopefully the postman will smile on you soon. Good Luck...

    I didnt win anything for about the first 8 months of comping (and even then my first win was only a Brian McFadden CD). But since then I've had a lot of wins. Just keep going, you'll get something in the end.

    Honey you need PMA (positive mental attitude). If you think yourself unlucky then you will be.

    Train yourself to think of yourself as a lucky person. Think of all the good things you have in your life and how fortunate you are to have them. Think positively and you will begin to be morel lucky.

    Honestly. I may sound like I'm talking out of my pants, but it really is true:)

    Since joining this site I've already gained so much with saving money, and freebies, and just all the little things that start to push you in the right direction rather than the opposite that I already feel like I've won loads. lol.

    I've only been playing competitions for about a week and a half but won £20 to spend at FatFace on an instant win. Have a go at that, I'll see if I can find the link for you, or get onto freebies and order yourself the Hellmann's book. :)

    Buy your local paper and do the comps in there. The odds of winning are far higher and it is the mostly likely place to get those sought after wins. Don't give up, you will win.

    Do you know what I've just bought my local paper to have a scan for comps and am disgusted to find that you have to phone up or text for them. :eek: It's as bad as watching ITV. lol.

  • I've won a lot off my local radio station - always worth trying if you have a local one because so many people think it's not worth it!! I've won two DVD players (one when they had only just come out), numerous CDs, a couple of lots of £100 gardening vouchers and goodness knows what else off them. Only one problem - the DJs know my name, and can even identify me by my voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
