    About three weeks until I won something other than instant wins.

    Good luck :)
  • Been comping for just over a month now and had 5 wins so far.

    Took me about a week till i recieved my first win though. :)

    four months AND it was a bubbly choc bar and 3 itunes song credits!!

    I then had to wait two months for another win!


    I do rather poorly on competitions as never won a single prize over £20.

    I think it was about 4 weeks. Quite a nice win, it was a power tool. GL :)

    Love the fairy dust pic Cat Lover :)
    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.
  • Thanks everyone :-)
    How many on average are you entering?

    Good luck to everyone :)

    I think it was about a month for me, before I won a local postal competition to win a pair of cinema tickets!
