  • aww thanks guys, pleased im not the only one feeling like this lol
  • Very very very dry!!!

    I must admit Im not the "best" comper. Not enough time, effort or dedication!! I enter the competitions ending the next day and only the things I really want.
    I dont do the dallies, weeklies or monthlies, but Ive won a few things over the year which Im pleased with. Ive won nothing in AGES!!
    Just need a biggie!!!!

    Good luck

  • very dry month for me only won a magners wrapping kit. then the other side of the scale me mother in law wins a cooking comp anchor cash prize and a flipping kettle and i was the one that passed on the links lol
  • I too am having a very dry month. I enter about 25 competitions a day. 175 a week, that's 700 in a month and in December I have won nothing todate. I keep hoping that a parcel will arrive on my doorstep because I do know from experience not all promoters inform you of your win. Living in hope.
    Just was wondering what the ratio for people who regularly win is. In my good times I could have won 2 or 3 prizes a week. Some big, some small. I would like to win say about 4 prizes out of every 100 competitions. But it aint happening. Love to hear how other people are doing.

    You going to have to do more than 700 a month hun, I think most hardcore compers do over 2000 a month (I know I do, I do over 100 a day and that not even touching the dailys, weeklies or monthlies) but sometimes you don't have to do that many to win a biggie but obviously the more you do the more your chances of winning bigger things.
    BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAG

    I only started comping this year. Had a few small wins: wii game, 2 cushelle koalas, anchor butter oven gloves, nivea handcream and recently a mini lego set and a kids book. Don't give up though because it's all you regular compers that inspire me to keep going:T

    Merry Christmas everyone, and good luck for next year:beer:
