No Wins for July

Feeling down about not winning anything in July. :cry:

I have won something every month since December, which was my goal. Anybody else feeling the strain...?

It wasn't a total loss (I must be honest), as I won 7 things at the school raffle but I consider those wins something completely different.

Hoping for some serious lucky dust, as I have my eye on a certain comp prize... :D

:A
:j Thanx to all who post the comps!!! :j

    I had no wins in July either :-(

    Actually had quite a bad year with only a few small wins, Im getting married in November (12 weeks to go) and I had so hoped to win anything to help with cost/dress/stationery - anything really and I have won nothing at all!

    Quite disheartening, but I keep reading of everyone elses good luck and it gives me hope to keep trying! xx

    I'm a somewhat new comper, since it being mentioned in the weekly newsletter awhile ago. Plus with TV programs like Extreme Sweepstakers, I think there's a lot more people entering them now.

    I hope things pick up for you soon.

    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder

    Nothing for me in july or any month since last october, when entering over 100 competitions a day, is does when disheartening, i agree.

    I've only had two small wins (both in June) since starting comping a few months ago but I'm hoping I'll get another win (and maybe even a biggie) soon! :D
    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 know how you feel, I haven't won anything since a turkey at Christmas, maybe you are saving it up for the big one.
