aww thanks for all the replies everyone :-) i'll have a go at the advents and might have a break after xmas it's so much time/effort and alot of the time you're getting nothing out of it. I don't seem to keep up with all the dailies either !! x

Do you have roboform set up to complete all the no thanks/not interested boxes etc? Thank you to a wonderful poster on here, I set that up about a week ago and I can run through the dailies in 45 mins now. Multiple tabs (usually 8 at a time), answer question, 'no thanks' identity clicked and submit button.

I figure that karma is telling me that other people need it more!

What a lovely way of looking at things

I get a bit grumpy when a win doesn't come my way.. but persevere - they often come along when you least expect them.. & when this next win comes along for you, it will be all the sweeter!
Good luck x x

whitewing, that is a nice thought :-) I really do need a win this week, my only pair of work shoes have split at the bottom so I came home with wet feet :-( my sons shoes have also split and I have my daughters party this wknd, never needed a win more (a cash one preferably) hope comping fairy will be watching xxx gl all

if you will really bad just take a few days off and then come back with a vengeance, i was feeling all crappy about comping as hadnt won anything big for a while and i then a week or 2 later i had a wem for £5000 asda vouchers from their recent purchase pepsi competition - i can never moan again as its my biggest prize ever.
i find that luck comes and goes, some months are great some not so great so keep going as u never know when the next big win will appear and if u r not in it u cannot win it lol

I've always said you win a prize for every thousand you enter and one time that prize may be a cuddly toy and another time it might be a holiday. I have recently entered 1226 tweets and not won so i know one will come in soon and in the meantime I will keep on comping and comping.
But if it upsets you it is definitely worth it, it should be a fun hobby that sometimes rewards you greatly

I feel a bit like that started comping beginning of Oct and haven't won anything yet hoping I will soon to make it worth while

If it is the thrill of something unexpected coming then enter a few giveaways every week. I recently got a miniture baileys and a pack of cheerios.
Not exciting looking back but did give me a thrill when they came.
There are so many giveaways which make a difference when times are hard, even a toothpaste sample saves you money in the long run.

I used to comp back in early 90's when you had to go out to hunt for forms and buy product (anyone remember quick save). Had a few nice but small wins, jersey carnations, bottle of gin and 2 bikes but gave up as in the same time my sister had a few big wins. Still remember the first thing to come through the post was a coupon for free salad cream.

I would say apply for 10 freebies a week, forget about them as often 30-60 days to arrive, then in the new year you will get little suprises which will help you get your comping mojo back.

I know how you feel! I've been doing competitions since July and not a sniff! I'm determined not to get disheartened and to carry on and it is nice to see the success of others but have to admit after spending every evening religiously entering I am disappointed😞 I'm sure with perseverance my time will come and I need to be patient! Good luck to all!

Take a break for a few weeks, it does no harm then if you feel like it try again. I used to enter loads a day 150 - 200 but now only enter a few a week.

Found I have loads more time to myself and found other things to do. Still enjoy comping but realy picky on what I enter.
