Ok I give up! For now.

I'm just back from a long break and feeling like I'm ready to jump in properly again so yes, sometimes a break IS good. Here's hoping you have a nice surprise waiting for you when you get back

Don't give up, I'm sending you some of my magical lucky comping fairy dust. Another couple of members said they were giving up & I did the same for them & the same day one of the had 2 wins & the other 3 wins so let's hope it works for you

HI! Can i just ask.. for all those lucky people who have regualr wins.. how often would you say you enter competitions? Do you look on the thread everyday and enter as many as possible? And is there any kind of knack to entering the good ones?
Just ive been randomly entering some and have never won as much as a magazine so like the OP i am ready to give up too!

Not sure if I qualify as a regular winner but I do win something most weeks. I enter as many as I can (where I actually want the prize!) for about 2 hours a day most days. I sort the comps into closing date, use roboform for speedy filling in and mark ones I have entered with the tick thing. Won around 30 prizes this year so far doing this.
Dont know if this helps at all but I think you have to enter loads to win one thing, maybe as much as 1000/1?
Anyway good luck.:)

i know how you feel been there many times in 35 yrs
but a comper can never give up for long,
cos you miss the buzz,
& you miss the escapism even dreaming of a win brings
& youre turn will come again you know that
i was only learning my 17yr old gs last night
that perseverance pays off in the end
& not just with comps

best of luck
& have a great holiday
take a rest if you must but

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

I haven't comped since September because I've been too busy, but I'm ready to start again now and I can't wait! I agree with other posters, when you come back it'll be fun all over again
