Not even had a sniff with the advents, this is the 3rd year of entering them and must be doing 70 - 80% of them :eek:.

Well aware its a number thing and luck, it seems to be the same pattern for me over the years never win anything from November onwards, how weird is that??

Well done all all that have won so far and Merry Christmas :beer:

And thanks for the moan, feel a whole lot better now :rotfl:

    Me too, I won £5 with tombola but that's it. The weird thing is a lot of the facebook ones seem to have the same names cropping up over and over again.

    not all companies notify you of win s- some just turn up & I've had some turn up out of the blue way into Jan so don't give up just yet.

    I've also been having a poor advent with just one decent win

    agree with hamsterfan1 - there is still hope. you can't discount any wins till january, after all there's still todays windows :D and some run till end of year.
    (I think compers have to be optimists otherwise we would never enter anything :) )
    Till lastweek all I'd won was 4 litres of milk and a sachet of fajita mix. Then a santa hat cat bed turned up in the post and yesterday I won £100 ASOS voucher.
