    If your looking for wins look no further than facebook. Add some MSE people (my name is (Mark James Dawson) and they / me will tag you in pics. Its a really good place to enter comps as there generally first come first served so they fill up quickly

    Someone said that to me once. They said 'Isn't it all about the postcode?' and I dismissed it. Maybe I should have asked what they meant!

    Twitter is also a good place to enter comps, if it wasn't for Twitter i would have only had one decent win this year, you can follow me and retweet my tweets @mitchygems
    Best wins 2012 - £1500 Diamond ring; 2013 - £2000 Cash; 2014 - Bathroom makeover; 2015 - £1000 TAB win; 2016 - Michael Kors Watch; 2017 - 5* Trip to India; 2018 - 10 day Canadian Rockies adventure. 2019 - Garden Rattan set
    Thanks to all who post comps :T
  • I've only been doing it since March and I don't enter hundreds a day like a lot of people on here. I enter about 30ish, I just enter the ones I'd like to win (which is never 100/200!) I've won quite a lot considering though, a lot have been things like books and DVDs because they're easier to win but keep trying, they'll start coming in soon! :)

    I started in November and enter roughly 200 a day over facebook and Mse. I enter for things I know I can use for pressies for other people for Christmas and birthdays as well as my most desirables. I won a pair of Christian Louboutins 2 weeks ago on facebook and an Ipad 2 on there last week. I've won tons of other stuff like tickets to gigs and food hampers as well, problem with the "desirable" comps is they have many more entries lowering your chances - keep going and you'll probably get a win. Facebook is a good place to be though.

    Good luck x

    I have been entering competitions since 2007 and never won anything huge. Some people join here this year and start entering comps and win big things straight away. It is all down to luck. You have only been entering for two secs give it a chance.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
