hey 
I've been comping around 3 months now. I enter between 50-200 comps a day but so far have won nothing. Im constantly checking emails, waiting for post and checking the phone (I sound mad LOL). Im starting to feel downhearted and that I should just quit but the IWIWIW boards are keeping me going.
So just thought I'd ask out of interest how long were you entering comps and how many a day before your first win.

It was 2 Years+ before I ever had a win. Were I to have entered each comp assuming I am going to win, I would have given up a long time ago. You have to be in it to win it, comes to mind, but that is not a guarantee of a win.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

I won my first thing after about 3 weeks (started comping 9th jan and got my WEM beginning of feb)
I enter but don't expect to win, I just enter and like to think of all the lovely things I *could* win
