    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I do on average about 100 a week. I only go for the faraway holidays, vouchers, or cash :D I used to go for everything going out of desperation to win :o But it was taking over my life, and I can afford to buy the smaller prizes myself.

    i eneter most on here and when i have the time quite a few on another site,i could quite easily say that some weeks i can eneter up to about 700 competitions thats when i have the time,i only started comping in january and hva e won about 6 prizes,the more you do the more u win i think.

    I regularly enter about the same amount every week and I only enter things that I actually want! But having said that this year alone I've had a fairly good return! :T
    :D....It's nice to be nice.....:D
  • I don't set myself a target. Some days i will enter 30/40 other days i won't enter any as i am just too busy. I mainly enter the ones on here, i started in January and so far only won £10. i am hooked now though and i can't stop i keep thinking that big win will just be round the corner!!

    Good luck.
    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.

    Stick with it. I didn't win anything for four months! However I have had one big win and several small wins since December which have added up to quite a lot in value.

    I used to enter about 30 a day. Not so much time now - just the holidays usually.
