    2013 has been barren for me, except for the obligatory fridge magnet. I had quiet a good 2012 though, so it's swings & roundabouts ..

    I keep track of how many comps I've entered and I've decided that I have no right to get narky until I've gone 10,000 without a win

    Don't know how long I go without a win think it's because I count a small packet of moisturiser as a win even though I know it's a freebie.I usually get things in post every week so I always feel like a winner most of them are freebies.Haven't won anything this month but haven't been entering many comps lately used to enter lots years ago usually enter 4 a day the best days are 50 a day but haven't done that for weeks.

    Same! Never expect a win, more 'hope' for one :)

    I enter usually 7 days a week roughly 20 - 50 comps a day and have an average WPM (wins per month) of 1-3 nice decent wins.

    Get twitchy after a month of no wins.

    I enter on average 50-60 comps. a day and haven't had a win since last October! So that's approx. 9000 comps entered and not a sausage! In fact, I'd be excited if I won a sausage....at least it would be something!

    The comping fairy hates me....sigh...:o

    JD ps but well done to everyone else on your wins :T and a massive thanks to all the comp. posters :D

    I enter every day, between 150-300 comps per day
    Wow thts a lot!! I'm rubbish, I barely get 50 a day :-(

    I won the Lindt choccy & it's my first win in my life ever!!! I'm totally addicted now & edgy wanting to win sumthing else. I'm not a 'lucky' person so for me to win the choccy was a big deal. I hope you get a win tobyjackjack
