    I'm still waiting for mine.

    I can honestly say I have entered over a hundred in the last couple of weeks, I hope I win something, even if it is a free keyring!

    Still waiting, think alot of my comps havent been drawn yet.

    Only started about 1 week ago, fingers crossed as there is some really super prizes out there!
    2010 is the year of bargain shopping! Time to money save, exercise and plan! I like to keep busy :)
  • I've entered loads, only just started in the last few days, but have got RSI from using the mouse!!
    I haven't won a sausage yet..........feeling very impatient, which is ridiculous, as some haven't even closed yet. Like many others, I couldn't care what my first win is, as long as I win something, anything....please
    I love hearing about the things people win, the best thing I've ever won was 6 years ago & that was 2 flights with Virgin to Barbados at the work xmas raffle!
    Good luck to everyone & let us know what you win
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    Married my best friend 15/4/16 :)

    My first comp was one to win Microsoft Vista or Office Professional 2007, guess what i won and office 2007 pro retails for nearly £400. Not bad for my first comp.
  • Can anyone remember a comp in the forum where you had to submit a photo of a wind turbine? I can't remember what the prize was and I can't find the comp by searching grrrrr. I think it ends at the end of August so should still be listed somewhere, but I can't find it :mad: I suppose I have to own up now to having stopped while off on me hols and taking a photo of the wind turbines :o

    I probably enter around 50 a day so am bound to win more than someone entering 50 a week.

    I said this in another post but I enter while the tv is on and use roboform so it requires virtually no effort - I spend a couple of hours a day entering comps but that time includes chatting on the phone, emptying the dishwasher and other dull household chores. Sometimes I just can't be bothered so I don't enter any but then my mobile rings and someone says "Congratulations!" and I feel really enthusiastic again.:j
    :T Thanks to all who post on here :T
