  • If you give up you won't be able to look forward to the postman coming or checking your emails !
    I'm having a pretty dry patch at the mo but you never know what's round the corner.
    Try checking out the freebie board for the odd treat in the post.
    Good luck !

    I can't judge your entry rate as you appear not to thank may times,as is your perogative.
    Just keep entering & hoping :-)
    You have the same chance as the rest of us.I enter about 20,000 comps per year & do not win that often :-)

    Feel the same but hoping the comps I do now will lead to wins next year! Really hope you get something soon to keep you going but know that a lot of people are entering at the moment and yes some people just are very lucky! I do advents dailies weeklies postcards facebook and twitter and really don't win much but by entering I have a chance - I'm saving for something at the moment and that spurs me on but think it may be time for a rethink soon then again this comping lark can get quite addictive!Fingers crossed for all of us :)x
  • Try not to get too down. I know it's hard but you never know something big could just be right around the corner :) I can go months and months without any wins and then bam I get 5 all at once lol. (Currently on a 2month dry spell) I'm sure something will turn up for you very soon, good luck :)

    Keep going - dont think it is the case that so many win loads really - just appears that way when you look at how many people are online and entering its probably only a small percentage that are actually winning loads. Seems that facebook and twitter comps have a lot to offer - but I dont personally understand those sites so keep away.

    best of luck

  • i feel the same, im doing loads of comps, advents, dailies, normal ones

    spending literally hours in a day doing comps

    and ive won hardly nothing this month, where as others have won loads

    i do feel like giving up, i keep thinking whats the point but then if i give up i definitely wont win anything

    Never give up, keep comping something will turn up when you least expect it :j
  • Alilyn, I'm like you, but I'd say the same, definitely don't give up, just have a little break and then return to it because sometimes I find if you go a long time it can be really hard to keep motivated. In October, I won 4 prizes in a fortnight, and nothing since. I've found a little break away has motivated me again. Just remember when you're not winning anything there's loads of us in the same boat :)
