    Don't give up it was a good few months before I won anything and quite often the wins seem to come in batches you will get a few then none for a while then a few.It is just persistence but it is worth keeping going.:D

    Hi annegeddes,

    I know exactly how you feel! I've been entering about 100 comps/week for the last 2 months and haven't won anything.

    It *does* get a bit frustrating when you hear of others winning loads of prizes, but I'm just putting my trust in what others are saying - that you will win something eventually, and sometimes it takes time to get started. Remember that some of the closing dates are way off in the future so even though you have enetered these comps, you may still win them yet!

    Just wondering...what's the longest spell a regular comper has gone without winning anything?
    Wins to date:

    Jul 2007: Nintendo DS Lite, Gardening Tools, Bananarama CD, 2 x Women's Open Golf Tickets (worth £50 each)
    Aug 2007: Shrek backpack,Tick remover, Firehouse Dog goodies
    Sep 2007: Box of Wispas
    Oct 2007: £5 Amazon voucher

    as everyone else says stick with it, I was entereing comps for about 3-4 months before I won then you get others who seem to win in their first week.

    My best win was tickets to see Little Shop of Horrors and tickets for Eds dinner.

    I do go through stages of only entering a few, still keep going.

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:
