    Has anyone fathomed out yet how to get on to the comps page without having to go through the main forum page everytime. Its missing off the shopping tab or is it just me.

    Not sure about navigating with the tabs. I just keep the comps form at the top of my favourites list.

    Are you looking for the 'clickable' below Banking/Saving at the top of this page?

    I think the banking / saving icon looks like a fist with a finger up - rude or what :rotfl::rotfl: that's how I normally get to competition forum too :D

    Hi,

    Try not to worry too much i was on here asking the same question a few weeks ago. Since then I've had wins and although they've not been massive (fairy manicure set, £20.00 real people, lip gloss and a postman pat lucky bag) they still matter.

    It could always be worse my mother in law has been doing magazine competitions for 15 YEARS and has NEVER won she thinks this must be a record!! :rolleyes:

    Good luck for the future, and keep trying it'll happen ..............

    eventually:rotfl:

    What is this Avon thing everyone keeps mentioning? I haven't seen an Avon comp listed anywhere?

    Try doing some skill comps as well as just relying on a few lucky clicks. tiebreakers, leaflets, captions, photos. recipes all have fewer entries and you'll know your entry will be actually judged.

    Good Luck

    Its all depending on how many comps you enter as well. I dread to think how many comps I enter a day/week/month/year.

    Keep at it, and before you know it you win something. We all go through lean spells were we win nothing, and a bit like the London buses, several comes along at once:)
  • I won a trip to the panto when I was 8 through a local paper, i was more pleased to see my name in the paper! Nothing since, I enter a few every week :(
