    enter quite a few a day now, i fill them in one by one as i only have a phone. I would love to win a netbook or a laptop as i can't afford one.
    But after months of trying you begin to lose hope, i don't think it makes a difference how many you enter. There can only be one winner. You're either lucky or you're not and i am not lucky lol.
    Thanks and i wish you lots of luck with your competitions.


    Why don't you try Freecycle for a laptop/computer? My sister in law done this recently and ended up with the choice of three! They probably won't be top of the range and may be a little slow, but I would suspect they'd be a lot better than using your phone....worth a try anyway.

    Good luck

    You know I think i'm going to count how many I enter on average a day. Not had a win since last Friday but that was a £750 washing machine package so can't complain!

    Comping is really all down to luck!

    You can enter hundreds of comps and end up with nothing... and a few comps and end up with loads.

    I do manage AT LEAST 2 wins a month though.

    I don't enter every single comp. I just enter things i really want to win, or the biggish prizes, as i found when i was new to comping and entering every single thing, i was ending up with "clutter" which i didn't use.

    This month has been a good month for me. I somewhat believe in the law of attraction so think it's down to that. I've been a lot more active on the comp board and have managed to find comps that haven't been posted on here. So as i've been putting comps out there, i've been receiving wins. I posted competitions yesterday, and received a letter informing me of a win today. May not make sense to others, but it makes sense to me.

    Good Luck with comping! Maybe try and use a computer in your local library while keeping an eye on Freecycle?

    its hard to win a biggie comp so i am happy with the little wins that i have won. i wont give up cos i would just be on facebook socialising if i was not trying on the comps, so i may as well try and win something. i live in hope. i enter at least 100 a day. im a touch typist and have roboform so i can do the comps quite quickly xx
    dont give up,but it must be hard doing the comps from your phone
    Just about to give up!
