Just not worth it

I think we all get disheartened at times. I don't win an awful lot but then I generally only enter for things I want to win.
Why don't you keep going and do the Advents that are coming up? I just might break your duck!! I had my first win with an Advent last Xmas.
Good luck what ever your decision.;)Thanks to those that post the comps!!

I make sure I am 'in the mood' to do it, else I wouldn't enjoy it. I've not won anything 'big' yet, but that's what's motivating me to keep going, you never know

It can be tough especially when you read about everyone else winning cool stuff, I really enjoy comping as it helps take my mind off of my studies and work. I never really expect to win anything so when i do its always an amazing surprise. So sorry your feeling down about it though maybe a week or 2 off might make you feel better? and for what its worth I have have been comping since 2007 and i have ever only won 2 things.£2012 in 2012:

Well, if your not enjoying it , your right why do it? I hope you find a hobby that you really do enjoy. All the best to you.Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A0

i hope the enjoyment comes back again for you maybe take a break for a while, In the past few years ive won some great things this year not much at all a face cream and a bottle of wine but i enjoy entering and seeing people winning on here makes me think next time that win could be mine, I enter because i enjoy it winning is a bonus but you never never know whats around the comping corner and thats what keeps me going0

I have had a break since about January, but have now come back to it refreshed and ready to have another go. Like others have said, if you find it a chore, then perhaps have a break.0

The way i look at it,its like fishing.A lot of days you go and catch nothing,another day you will catch a few small one,s,But if you keep at it the day will come when you hook the big one,that makes all the bad days worth while,We all go weeks/months without a win,But keep at it it mate and the wins will come GUARANTEED.;)ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ0
