    I know how you feel, i enter quite a few but only the ones that i'd like to win or are useful, no point entering ones where i couldnt make it to the place or wouldnt use the prize of no one in my family could. Only takes a few mins entering them (god bless roboform) lol - so hopefully soon i may get something for nothing *wakes up from dreaming* lol

    Try and turn lady luck more in your favour,
    Do a variety of comps, not just the click & go ones. Increase your chances by entering some comps which require an element of skill like photo, recipe, leaflet, tiebreaker, your local newspaper comps,,,,,,,,,,,

    If you enter like you've always entered you'll win what you've always won.

    Good Luck

    my wins have gone down dramatically in the past year or so, but now as more people seem to be entering comps recently i win much less

    Just keep trying.

    Its a great hobby and as long as you are enjoying it, keep going. This site is great for a bit of a chat, and check out the winners section, it always makes me feel better to see others winning.

    I have just won a little prize in a local postcard comp, and that has really made my day. So try and enter all different kinds of comps.

    Good luck.

    Hi Dee, was feeling exactly in the same position as you. Been entering for 2 months without anything and was begining to think if it was worth it, especailly when you read what everyone else has won- they make it seem so easy.

    Well the good news is that yesterday i got a phone call saying i had won a DVD player:j I was so chuffed i'm still can't stop smiling.

    Keep gogin your time will come
    :money: Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to everyone who has helped.

    Hi Dee

    Try not to give up - I have only been doing this since January and haven't won anything since February

    It seems to me to be volume - the more you enter etc etc and pure luck:confused:

    It is hard to keep going struggling myself at the moment. but everyone on here is great and will buck you up when needed:D

    As purple spider said look at the comps ending sticky and enter all the ones ending the next day

    :D GOOD LUCK:D
