    Sometimes you get an email and sometimes they just turn up. You do need to be persistant and tbh it can take several months. It does not surprise me that you have not won yet. Do hang in there because you will win.

    Hiya,

    I've only been doing it for about 3 - 4 weeks and already I'm hooked.

    My young lad knows what i'm up to and he said ahhh this is just like gambling but you don't lose anything innit. :D

    Words of wisdom from a young chap methinks.

    As far as I'm concerned, I enjoy it, it costs nowt but a bit of time but the rewards are potentially there.

    You just have to keep on at it. I was comping for 6 months before I got a win and then another 3 months went by until I got the next one.

    Hello annegeddes :hello:

    All I can say is keep trying, It will happen Im sure. Try and enter as many competitions as you can to increase your chances. I always like to look at the ''I Won'' posts to give me inspiration to continue, and its nice to see that real people actually do win these competitions and its not just a marketing ploy.

    Don't give up. It's still v.early days. It will pay off in the end. Good luck!

    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you

    It was over four months before I won anything. Don't give up yet. The law of averages says you WILL win something eventually.
