    It took me 3 months to win my first comp which was 1,000 piggy points on pigsback. I have recently won a pulsating toothbrush, that is all i have won in doing 5 months of comps. I spend 2 hours per day entering online comps and i also enter comps in my local paper.

    HTH
    Best Wins of 2010 = Apple ipad & £100 Dejager vouchers:j:j
    June Prizes = Kids Card game, Miners nail polish set,L'oreal million lashes mascara.

    It took me about eight months to win anything, but then I won a dvd, weekend break, 3 books, a wristband and a watch!
