Will I ever wine something...??

Hello fellow bargain hunters, I've been entering comps for about 3 months now, and not a sausage.

I've never really won anythin before, ever, is there hope for me??

    Keep going. You will win something eventually. It took me 6 months to get a win and then it was only a CD and another 6 months after that to get another win which was only a towel.

    Thanks mates, appreciate the support, I will carry on typing my life away, I'm well up for a win!!
  • Yes i have been doing comps since beginning of Jan this year and only won £10. Sometimes i do think what's the point, then i see what other compers are winning on this board and know that it is possible to win.
    Remember the saying "you have to be in it to win it"
    Keep going fingers crossed for ya and hopefully both our luck will change!

  • Approx. how many comps are you entering?

    I was entering hundreds per week via email/web sites/post/test message and it took me exactly two months to have my first win... then this month I've had several per week. Just keep at it :)

    Keep at it, i've been comping since January and so far i've won a dvd but looking at the lists of what our fellow compers have won it goes to show the perseverance will pay off one day!

    Good luck
