    Years :-)

    I just comp for fun now & see the wins as a bonus.

    To get too worried re wins will only detract from your general comping mojo :-)

    Well said Weeowens! Yes, thinking negatively and giving up hope won't help you win! In fact, I am sure it scares the comping fairy away!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • It took me a few months to get any wins. I enter about 100 a day and win once or twice a month.

    The fun though is dreaming what you might do with the money, the holiday, or who you might give the prize to.

    Good luck hope your first win comes soon.

    I have been comping for nearly 5 years and have never won a really big prize, apart from a £100 cheque and around 7 small ones in all that time

    I enter between 50-150 a day, depending how i feel :)

    But i live in hope, and i keep entering, good luck :)

    I couldn't agree more! Haven't won anything myself yet but thinking of prizes I could give to my friends and family and daydreaming about holidays gets me through the working day :)

    Try to pick yourself up, and keep on comping :) These questions about how long it took others to win, etc, are rather like the people who ask each other questions about how an exam went when they've just got out of the exam hall. It just plays on anxieties.

    How long is a piece of string? You will win when the fates are on your side, and sometimes it takes time for that to happen. As weeowens said, let entering the comps be your fun, not the wins themselves :D

    I'm always surprised when I hear folks say they enter 100 plus a day. I find a lot of my time is used searching through the comps to find something I'm interested in. Some pages I don't enter any and just cross them all. Wonder if I'm going about it the right way, if I'm too choosy. Would love to be entering more but I just can't do it, even though I have 2 or 3 hours spare during the day or evening.
