    Yep you need to keep going.

    I find i'm getting addicted to comping. At the weekend I don't enter any comps and I'm on edge...

    With regards to winning. In my experience you need to enter alot of comps before you get 'lucky'. Ive entered nearly 3000 comps since November and I have won 4 prizes! Thats less than 1% of the comps ive entered.

    Don't think I'll get rich doing this but I do enjoy it...

    Goodluck

    You think that's bad? I had a dream the other night about some scary woman called betty bookmark:eek: :eek: :eek: !!!!!! (and all because I'd entered a whole bunch of book comps on the betty bookmark site). That's all I'm telling you about the dream (NIGHTMARE!):rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yeah, I'll agree, comping is timeconsuming but for that one moment as I'm entering I think, wow, wouldn't it be nice to win that...and then the next one comes along and thats even nicer to win, and so on.....ah...my fingers and eyes are crossed in anticipation of that first prize.......<waits, somewhat impatiently >

    Good luck to ya piratess!
    :D if you don't have anything nice to say, keep schtum.

    Ive only been doing this about a week and Im addicted.:j

    I half dread leaving my computer for anything more that 4 hours as I know Ill have pages to catch upon.

    Im off to London next week and Im thinking already how many comps am I going to miss and have to catch up on.:eek: when I get back.


    The plus side Im off to Vitality show and Ideal home show so Ill pick up lots of leaflets and hopefully have some comps to post when I get back ( does this sound like an addict to you ? - I need help ) :D
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T
