    I think it took me 4 - 6 weeks before I won my first prize - a Bosch power tool. I entered loads at first and was winning around 1 per week. But I'm more choosy now, so win less. That suits me, because otherwise it takes too much time. Good luck :cool:
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Ive had my first win a picture, so thats 3 weeks (many comps you will enter wont end for nearly a month to begin with)
    Good luck

    Dont forget in comping 'More is NOT less' - the more you do the more chance you have..
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    Started in August last year. When I finally win something I'll let you know ;)

    I need to find a way of keeping track how many I enter

    I've just been puting the comp titles onto an excel spreadsheet, a tab per month.
  • I'd say i was a lucky one, i won within my first week a food plate, books and shampoo and then after about 2 and half weeks i won a all inclusive holiday to Jamiaca, then the latest travel system for baby followed by a HTC phone...... then it goes quiet for a few weeks. Good Luck x
