    Well, you have to be in it to win it, there's always a chance. I felt the same way as you and gave up comping for a while only to get an email to say I had won an Ipad. You never can tell when you are going to get a good win.

    I've been comping for a few months now and only had two very small wins. I figure I've got more chance of winning now than I had before I started comping haha. I'm hoping that if I keep positive I will eventually get a bigger win :D Good luck.
    New here but need to get my finances under control and really hoping for a nice win or two from the comps! Good luck to us all. :beer:

    I was having a dry spell but I then got two winning emails on Thursday saying I had won a camera and a tiger beer fan pack. Gotta be in it to win it!
    Love my hobby ;-)

    Im there with you. I won a small prize last October and since then... nothing. I am holding out - as the OP says above you have to be in it to win it, and just hope something comes along soon for all of us having a bit of a dry spell!
    Thank you to all the compers!

    I'm in the same boat. I'd won a lot (small prizes) but the past 2 months have been rubbish. I've recently joined MSE hoping it will increase prizes (I was previously only using TPF). I won some NUK soothers for my son today though. I'm not letting it get me down. Reading winners stories spurs me on :)
  • Can be hard but even when I don't win I enjoy reading about those of you who do so well worth it...if you don't enjoy it then no point in doing it really maybe have a longer break, who knows hope you win soon, hair serum is ok you saved a few £ not buying it :-) xx

    It's the anticipation of winning that keeps me going! I've been lucky this year and won some nice prizes but have been going through a dry spell for the past two months until I won a frisbee this morning! :rotfl: but ...... as everyone says on here, you have to be in it to win it so keep trying! Good luck. :beer:
    Thanks to all those who post competitions! Comping on and off since 2009
