    I'm quite offended by that firefly :(

    Although I do try and put up comps if they haven't already been posted, I do spend alot of time on here entering comps. Soon as the kids are in bed I'm on here doing as many as I can until I feel sleepy. Today there's been loads, and I'm still doing them..... blooming end of the month!!! ;)

    But I do enter loads, I have had a few decent wins, still waiting for a big one. I honestly think it's all down to luck. Facebook & Twitter comps I'm slowly going off, because it does seem the same winners.

    EDIT: I only use MSE for comps btw :)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I enter 250+ plus a day and that was still the case when working full time, now I am doing a degree and still doing it around it as I want to win 'big'. I know it isn't guaranteed but I do believe that if you win certain comps you shouldn't be allowed to win them again for a certain period to give others a fair chance, not counting instant wins of course.

    It is very frustrating when you don't win, I don't blame others for winning but you just get hacked off as you aren't getting much and it seems certain people are.
    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

    FF has removed her post by the looks of it, but I am sure she meant no harm by it, and said some not all x Really don't want this turning into any arguements, etc, just wanted to see what people thought, and Goblin I also said most not all newbies xx

    I think there are so many entries to comps now that companies are unlikely to notice a particular name appearing. My win rates have definately gone down in the past year, and I suppose its to be expected now that this comps thread is so popular and there are hundreds of new eager compers. However, its still possible to win and I havent given up and neither should you. Good luck.
    Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A

    I enter on average 400+ a day (includes dailys, etc) would love to win big, as I am desperate to move back to near my family, been away from them for 5 years now, need about £3,000 to do it.
    It is very very very frustrating to not win, and I don't begrudge anyone there wins!, just very jelous....lol

    Crikey the amount of effort that FF puts in so you and us all can have any chance in the comps that they post and you are moaning and taking offence at that?.....sheeesh!!!
