    I'm just over a year into comping and only enter through MSE, I enter only for things I or my family could use and stalking the postman and my email inbox is now a ritual :D I still get excited about every win as I know it's something we can use, so far this year I've done brilliantly with the highlight being a 4 day all inclusive holiday to majorca with spending money, you gotta be in it to win it as they say. And in my mind everyone one I enter could be the one that I win, I believe you have to think positive, I'm also a great believer in Karma and share any comp I find.

  • I've only been comping since March and I enter about 60-100 a day. I go through and look at EVERY competition and just enter for everything I'd want to win :) Sometimes there's loads of stuff I want to win, other times there's hardly anything... it all depends!
    But defintley be positive! Every time I enter a comp I think, "I'm SO going to win this" I often don't but it keeps me going haha! :D
    I tend to enter lots of blog/twitter/facebook comps because they seem to be easier to win.
    I always seem to win something at the exact right time, just as I'm about to give up 3 will come along at once :)

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I came across this site when looking up travel money deals on MSE. I've been comping since last October and enter only about 20-30 a day. Like others I enter for things I fancy winning. I do some of the dailies and other regular comps too.
    Don't get hung up on winning- treat it as a hobby and enter each one with the thoughts that Matryoshka has in their signature!

    I've won a few things as you can see in my signature. Plus I won the Broadband Choices daily on the 9th June so have £190 on it's way to me.
    No matter what I win I get really excited! :D
    You'll have your wins there's no doubt.

    Just enjoy entering and the community here on MSE. Everyone is friendly and happy to point in the right direction for help. :T:T
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!
