    Not a win this month and I spend at least 4 hours a day doing comps!!!!

    I used to put my few wins on my signature.... now it's just embarrassing! So I changed it.

    Think I now go on to see how many people I have cheered up - by counting the "Thank you's"!

    There is always a bright side. Tinktinktinkerbell - you post quite a bit, I'm really used to seeing your username pop up, so PLEASE don't stop. It's a nice community to be in, even if you don't win that much!
    I love straight forward people, makes life ten times easier.

    I misread the title as dry "mouth"! That's the effect these advents are having on me! :D I thought that was a slightly more unusual side effect of comping.

    Keep your head up, tink! It seems like when you least expect to win is when it actually happens. A small win is better than nothing~~~~~~~~~

    won a couple of little things but this month has been rotten

    thought it would have been much better what with their being more comps to enter but its worse than the months when ive entered less comps!

    anyone else having a month like this? or has it been good for you so far?

    really disheartening, even thinking of giving up!

    me too tinktinktinkerbell :( looking at your MSE signature you're having a better time than me ;) But to be fair I haven't had as much time comping and getting further and further behind, so hopefully will have a couple of goods weeks catching up and then maybe have more wins in January :)

    Good luck to everyone :grouphug: :xmassign:

    Don't give up! Just take a short break from comping. Thats what I do when feeling de-motivated. You'll soon be back raring to go!

    It is very quiet for me too but wait to Jan/Feb/Mar then it gets even worst as there are not as many comps so I always find these month slow.

    I've won a few things, but they have all been very small, like a £10 voucher on the colgate comp and some teaights. I was hoping for a couple of good wins from the advents, but not had much luck so far.
