    Hi I am new and very addicted. I have been doing it everyday for about 2 weeks and must enter about 20 comps aday. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posts comps on here especially someone called kipper who tends to pop up so much.

    I just wondered how long was it before anyone won anything when they first started?

    Is it just me who belts to the door when the postman arrives just incase?

    Thanxs to everyone.

    Welcome Zoe, yes it is very addictive and I do look out for my post man or a card through my door when ever I come back home. I was entering comps for a few weeks and luckily had my first win, in fact I have been pretty lucky since starting :j The first win always feels great no matter if its a small one, its a win. Good luck on your first win and may it be soon.
    What we see depends mainly on what we look for

    Hi and welcome. You will probably need to give it a few months before you win. Have fun and enjoy the forum.
  • Hello Zoe, It took me 3 months to get my first prize - now i seem to get one win per month, i have only had small wins but i am hoping for a big prize soon. Fingers crossed for ya and good luck.

    Hi Zoe, welcome! I have only been around for 4 months and have yet to win anything but that hasn't stopped me being totally addicted. I just keep getting more amazed at the variety of competitions 'out there'.

    Happy Comping:D

    Hi Zoe

    Welcome to the forum. The more comps you do, the more chance you have of winning!

    I agree comping is totally addictive. Once the postman has knocked with a win you're totally hooked! :j :j
