    I've only had a couple of tiny wins this year so far :-( can't moan too much as over the past 5 years of comping had lots of nice wins including 40 inch tv, Rayleigh mountain bike, £100 hmv vouchers, electric shower, £50 smyths toy shop voucher, foodie weekend in a hotel! But I need a win soon...giving up!

    I had a small win of a case of RC Cola in December 2012, then one in March 2013 of some free Foundation and a Art Print... and that's it. I think I enter probably 100-150 comps a day too. I feel that lady luck hasn't favoured me much recently.... but I have a feeling that is going to change soon :o)

    Good luck to all anyway :)

    If i go a month - 6 weeks without anything I start to get a bit cheesed off!

    When I started comping last August i won 3 massive prizes within 4 weeks then nothing until January so that was a bit dry spell, then between jan & apr nothing but had 3 wins in a week so hopefully things are on the up.

    In terms of how many comps I enter between 50-100 every day, but I only ever enter stuff I would want to win, so I am selective.

    As always GL all in your comping let's get some nice wins :)

    2012 wins: £3500 2013 wins: £1000

    I enter around 30-50 comps a day depending on how busy I am and have won on average one nice prize per month. I start getting a little bit fed up if I don't win anything in one month but count myself very lucky to have the wins so far.
    Thanks to all those who post competitions! Comping on and off since 2009

    My last win, was Back in March, but has only just been delivered. So 6 winless weeks now.
    If I start feeling a little cheesed off with comping, I use my Vue cinema card,(which I won in January) and go to the pictures !

    When i did comps at the end of October 2011 for about 3 months, i did well. I won £300 with pepsi, £70 rezidor vouchers, an aldi christmas hamper, a case of smirnoff, a years supply of mascara and little things like tickets.

    Now ive been back for just over a month and had a few small wins. But, i like looking at my emails thinking i may just receive a winning one, always disappointing lol! x
    Started comping April 2013 :)

    So far, I have won nothing!

    I'm hoping it's because I'm brewing up for a big one...
