I have been seriously comping for three weeks and still nothing but never gonna give up. I WILL win something, no matter what!

Back in the day, about 2001, I won a mobile phone but that was a random thing I saw and entered. Also won a book, again random click while I was on a website.You'll have to speak up; I'm wearing a towel0 -

My first win I can remember was a castlevania pin badge from nintendo magazine when I was about 5/6 for doing a crossword in the magazine. Then second prize in a competition from a kids magazine when I was nine for creating a treasure map, tea stained, burnt edges paper... the works lol I won a crayola art case.
I took a break for a while after two competitions I entered decided the competition was pulled due to not enough entrants etc, annoyingly I won 1st place on a poster competition and the drawing competition so that put me off. I must admit I was very lucky back then lol.
Since starting again 3/4 years ago my first prize was £50 warehouse jewellery, twas a very lucky year as it went on.
