  • Depends - I had a winning spell where I was entering about 50 competitions a day and won quite a bit (cheap stuff though).

    I only seriously comp during school holidays or when I start to panic that I don't have enough money.
    Save £200 a month : [STRIKE]Oct[/STRIKE] Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr
  • I find it quite difficult to judge - probably about 100 + but some days less - I don't count the ones on twitter though and I do quite a lot there. I probably get around 15-20 wins a month, it really varies. Mostly smaller prizes and a couple of bigger ones. I do all sorts though, itv, mag ones, email, online, facebook, twitter, postcard, entry form only etc!
    Some best wins: £5,000 with hotels4u, 3D tv with ipad and sky for a year, another ipad, Hudl tablet, Sony z1 Xperia mobile, Spa break and £300 spa treatments, hotel chocolat hampers!

    I started entering comps in December, some days I enter a few but some days I go nuts and enter tons but have never win anything!

    When you get an email saying you've won, does it usually say so in the subject? Just to save me opening them all- being lazy! Ha!

    :(

    hahahaha thats exactly what I was thinking, as you have to register for newsletters etc to enter some of these comps I literally cannot be a**ed to go through all my emails :)

    I've just looked back at my win emails. They've either said 'congratulations from ...', have the name of the prize e.g. 'bake off book', or the name of the competition like 'lapland competition'.

    I usually search my email for 'congratulations', 'win', 'winner' 'winning' and 'won', once a day, just in case.

  • I did 116 comps yesterday and it took me 5 hours. I need to sort out this Roboform thing !
    I am now changing my mindset after some great positive advice and I need to believe it will happen and it will. Ok. Now where's that postman? ;-)
    Amazingly grateful and stunned by those who post these competitions. Thank you, and for all the love on here ! x
