    Hi all,

    I too have been unable to enter comps for a while, but I thought I would pop in to see how you are all doing. It's great to see people acheiving their goals and new people joining.

    Well done all, I'm off to enter a few tonight but I still have not found that 'illusive winning streak' ! I'm sure it will come sooner or later !

    See ya
    :)

    Have'nt had the time to come on here for a while but have had three small wins recently, DVD ' Severance' stariing Danny Dyer ( from Local paper ), was'nt sure of valueso Kelkoo-d and play.com sell at present for £5.99, also won a 'SHREK' puss in boots beanie ( from the comp on here ) value about £5.00, and won a runners up prize in a local paper of YAKULT The Inside Diet Book ( although I am only a size 8- 10, so I passed this onto a friend, I was after the smoothie maker ) value of book £3.49.

    My challenge is for £360 / won so far ( with previous prizes I have listed ) £172.47 / left to win £187.53.

    So i'm now almost half way to completeing my challenge but it is looking a bit iffy where we are now in the 8th month. But I shall remain POSITIVE and hope for the best.

    Hi all, just started comping end of July and won a couple of things already. Going to go for this challenge as best I can! Big thanks to those who post all the comps.

    Can I just ask how many (approx) comps to people enter a day? I'm trying to work out what kind of target to set myself.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Just started and I just worked out my comping challenge tonight - I didn't know what it was before so I'm happy now I have a goal.

    Hoping to hit the challenge by the end of the year, but I'm not too lucky so I will wait and see. Been a bad year so far so hoping this will pick me up and cheer me up.

    Good luck everyone!!!
