I haven't really won anything this year either other than a pizza and the L'Occatine hand cream which is more of a freebie really. I've cleared the boards and have entered way more than I've ever entered before, but most haven't ended yet so don't give up hope!Best wins: Tefal pan set, microwave, £500 shopping vouchers, £500 Princesse Tam Tam vouchers, £100 cash

So far this year Ive won a levi roots voucher for 1.99 which I had given up on, it arrived yesterday. Thats it on here, Id be happy to win anything. I dont enter as many as some people, but when you think how many people enter each comp, the chances of you winning in the first place is quite low.
I just enter them when Ive got some time spare to sit at the pc and do it and if I win anything then its a bonus.0 -

I'm incredibly excited about your win, as I saw a pic the other day that I was desperate to find an excuse to post, and you've just given me that excuse :j :j
Back on topic...
I know that it's hard GlamourPuss, when you feel like you're keeping up your side of the bargain by entering, and the Fates / compin fairy aren't playing fair, but I'm sure that if you keep at it, something will be just around the corner.
SherlockFan85 - you're so right about not wanting to know the numbers of entries... Sometimes I do feel curious, but actually it's better not knowing. I find statistics like the Cabin Pressure one depressing, but - at the end of the day - we all have a chance of winning. It only takes our name to be drawn once. (That's why I only enter the magazine dailies once, but still feel I'm in with a chance of a win). I believe in Fate, and maybe Fate wants the person who's entered 30 times to win, or maybe Fate is in a good mood and thinks someone who's only entered once should win. It's all a game at the end of the day: even increasing the odds doesn't make us that much more likely to win...0 -
Be glad you had luck to lose
Did you enter the pizza comp - everyone is winning a voucher on that0 -
Koalas and pizzas seem to be on trend for January/February... :rotfl:0

This year so far I've won:
- A car
- A year's subscription to Sky TV
- A lovely hamper packed with booze and all sorts of luxury items
- A cruise to Norway
- A Marc Jacobs gift set of Daisy (my fave scent)
- And yesterday ITV phoned to tell me that I finally won with them :j:j:j
But then I woke up and found I've actually only won a pizza, a box of after eight chocs and FIVE koalas - oh yeah, and a gold ticket on the daily Tyrells thing (after playing every day for...I dunno, two years or more I think. The gold ticket enters me into a draw at the end of the month - yippee!)
Life huh?
And I'm not giving up cos who knows one day my dreaming could become a reality.
Blu XI am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!
When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.0 - A car

Sometimes it doesn't seen fair that comping efforts aren't rewarded. I get blue sometimes too. You just have to keep on going and to remember that when it comes to competitions there is no such thing as fair reward. You're not being judged personally or on your time and effort (unless it's an effort comp) so it's not a rejection of you, just the luck of the draw.
Chin upThank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!0
