  • I know people have spoke about black listing and what not, but does anyone think that not signing up to newsletters and such has any effect?

    I'm having a very slow start to 2012 too. I've had a couple of small wins this last week which has raised my spirits a bit:).
    I do think it goes in cycles though, hopefully if we keep on entering we'll all hit a winning streak eventually.

  • Had a brilliant 2011 with about 4k worth of wins but not even a sniff of even a small prize since November.:( Makes you abit down-heartened but plodding on regardless:)

    By the way what is this "black listed"that I noticed in an earlier post?

    I am new to comping. Having retired I needed a hobby!!! Well I must say since November 2011 I have entered as many as I possibly can and the only thing I have won is a fridge magnet from Danepak....I think everyone who entered got one of those. I do love to read the stories of compers who have won.... so that is the first thing I do when I sign in....it puts a smile on my face! Still waiting for a win...but you know what they say "Its the taking part" :rotfl:
    Before you assume, learn the facts,
    Before you judge, understand why,
    Before you hurt someone, feel,
    Before you speak, think.
  • I've had quite a slow start to the year too! Had several smaller wins which, of course, I'm grateful for :) And a good first win of 2012 with a £50 voucher :D (but that's been the biggest win of the year so far)

    Though I had a brilliant end to 2011 with a trip to Lapland (which we're taking this November), so I guess that balances it out and you just have to keep on entering to be in with a chance :)

    Good luck everyone for the next few months!
