    I think there have been alot more people comping over the last year however lately I have noticed that this has started to drop of slightly - Probably due to the hard work involved.
    I miss the delivery van too but the little wins are starting to pick up. I am sure (honest) so I am going to say stay positive because that delivery van only has to stop once with that nice big win ;) Sending lots of luck your way.
    Total 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
    2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.

    I know how you feel :(

    Used to be little parcels on a regular basis - now and over the past few months it has dropped to barely nothing!

    Hopefully there will be a win to pick us up again soon xx

    Good luck

    I'm finding the same.

    I used to win lots of competitions but this year winning very few. This year I've won shoes (gave to daughter), £100 Asda card, £50 Post Office card, and bits and pieces, but little else.

    The postman used to be always knocking at the door and I used to win toys and goodies for the grandchildren, which I used to save for Christmas. There were so many things through the years.

    It seems that these days so many people enter competitions the odds of winning are becoming longer.

    I enter competitions which need captions, more effort, tie-breakers when I find them, hoping for a win.

    Good luck


    Massive good luck for you and everyone else.

    Libra10 i agree. thats why i only enter for what me or my nan want and trust me thats not alot. I dont see the point in entering to win something which me or my very small imidate family have no use whatsoever for. :D
    it might not be much, but its better than a kick in the teeth:rotfl:

    Sending lots of good luck wishes your way, though truthfully, I'm in the same boat. Oh, how I miss the little kick of excitement when the postman came a knocking.

    thats the same with me,i was much better last year,this one is barely comparing ,
    yesterday a van stopped by and i sit next to the window,told my husband is definitely a win and the driver took a parcel in his hands ,did two steps towards the front garden and realised he was at the wrong address,can you believe that.
    you dont want to know my dissapointment face all day

    but anyway keeps your hopes up ,thats why i tell myself all the time
    A rule of the universe is, the more you give, the more you get
  • You will get a big prize soon. Probably something that your husband will enjoy as well then he will actively encourage you to comp.:)

    Do we think the postmen are keeping all our prizes :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:



    Only kidding! Same here, had great wins at the start of the year but nothing lately and really miss the little surprises when I get home from work!

    I also think the fact a lot of comps are now on Facebook and Twitter has made it harder to win.

    Keep going though, one good win will make it all worthwhile :D

    OMG, please don't say that. I love all postmen everywhere because the bring me prizes and they work hard. :T:T:T

    I like the phrase "postie with the mostie"

    I'm sure a win will come along soon enough. Think positive and keep ploughing on! I know it feels like a mountain sometimes :)
    Whether we win or lose,
    that we played at all was a winning decision. :D
