What you think about, you bring about....so by saying 'I never win' means that will come back to you.
I was saying the same in March/April time...then decided to change my thinking to..'I am winning!'
And I've won some great stuff since...
This works for all parts of life too btw lol
Hope it works for you!!

glad I am not alone, been entering comps since Jan for 2 hours a day, couple of wins. My last one arrived a couple of weeks ago (worth £50), got very excited only to get a "very sorry I sent the prize to the wrong person, please forward or pay for it" e-mail. Now more downhearted than before !
Hmm - I hope you told her to forward you the postage first, not sure why she thought you should pay for her mistake:eek:
Hope the comping fairy visits you soon:)"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "

You should'nt have to pay you did'nt make the error. I would ask for the cost of postage and the cost of you having to go to the post office.
Hope you win something nice soon.Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A0 -
strange how luck works but I know the win always happens when least expecting it.0

I haven't 'really' won anything in years. I've pretty much given up doing 50 comps a day and now just restrict myself to ITV ones. Honestly I've almost completely lost my motivation to do those too now.

Its not worked for me for July (won once and that wasn't a great prize), but then again I did have a good June and after 3 WEMs in one week (the first being an ipad) I couldn't help thinking that I would have a bit of a losing streak now. I need to start thinking well its been a while now lets get some more wins. So I WILL win something soon, Ive entered plenty end of month ones so at least one of them WILL come up and I WILL have a good August
I try to think along the lines of imagine me holding the prize, if I imagine it, it will come to me (not that that always works either, Im still holding my imaginary iphone)Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
