    Hi, colliecrew with Roboform you can soon fly through them :-)
  • I started comping properly in January this year, had my first small win in April. Then in May I had 4 wins within two weeks, including a holiday to San Diego. I thought the wins were going to be rolling in after that, but since then I've only won things about every 6-8 weeks.

    I enter about 30 a day, including a few dailies. I always hear that FB comps are easy to win, but I've never had a win through them.

    Good luck everyone x

  • My first win came 3 days into my comping hobby and it was a biggie :-)

    VIP tix for 2 to epsom down for ladies day - inc £250 cheque, london styling day, transport paid for, luxury suite, meals, open bar, afternoon tea, champagne etc...

    Was a winning phonecall and I really screeched my head off at the poor chap on the phone!
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    I've had a few good wins including over the years including £500 hasbro toys, £500 sports items,£100 theatre tokens, a Wii, and recently a Tassimo machine.In between i've had small things like make up etc but to be honest i dont enter that many not even a 100 in a week.

    i try to go for comps that have runner up prizes etc or specific things i'd like! of course the more you enter the better for you but i still think its the luck of the draw.

    Good luck hope you win soon.:)

    Took me two days I think, to win gig tickets, then won a t-shirt a couple of weeks after that. Still waiting for the next win but only started earlier this month so a lot of comps I've entered won't have been drawn yet.

    I work part time and have it all set up, once you have registered with most sites it and install roboform, it doesn't take long. Also, I open a few tabs at a time to save waiting for the comps to load AND answers are always posted (THANK YOU)
    I do find it very addictive, I don't understand how people like Laks and WeeOwens find the time and motivation to put so much effort, its difficult enough completing them all, besides all the research they do (RESPECT TO THEM and ALL who post)

    Thanks to all who post, good luck one and all.

  • I'd been a lurker on this forum for quite a while, but I've just had my first competition win (a skirt from Oasis) and I wanted to register to say thanks and start sharing any competitions I find :)
