Lost motivation, back on the wagon and two small wins in two days =)

Hi all

After christmas I lost motivation with competitions after a dry spell of not winning.

I restarted on the 16th Feb, about 7pm that night I had a FB message from CultBox saying 'Congratulations you have won a Doctor Who complete AudioBook Boxset'. :D

and this morning on a daily comp 'I have won a free online film rental on 4oD' with Mccains to be redeemed within 30 days. :D:D

Keep at it - even if its a small win - at least its something.
;)
Time to find me again

  • Well done, lovely to hear you had some wins. I lost motivation during the house move and have just started trying to get back in to the swing of things, we certainly need a win!

  • Thanks all

    My partner keeps telling me this should be my job - after we had an ITV win back in 2008? god was it that long ago.

    I seem to do pretty well with kids/toys competitions and a few bits and pieces here and there for us but I lost motivation a few times between 2008 and now - with various things but my boyfriend always tells me

    'you get out what you put in' so I sit here for 2-3+ hours a day and have a look at what there is - Im not greedy though - if something doesnt interest me - like the DVD ones then I dont enter them......as it would only sit gathering dust unwatched etc.

    x x x landed with my 3 little wins though.

    only problem I have is that Im straight edge and the competitions I seem to win usually involve alcohol so the wine voucher has me completely stumped! although think I might use it to treat a friend who is having a hard time lately, my Step mum for mothers day and my grandparents a bottle of bubbly for their 50th wedding anniversary. :T
