For all of you regular compers.
I have left out never won, as I wouldn't want anyone to jinx themselves

Al, I don't wanna put you off or anything
but it took me nearly 18 months :eek: for my first big win
mind you when I started on here, the volume of comps was pretty sparse0 -
I've just had my first proper win ....an ipod shuffle on the pirelli site"Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into someone else's nonsense, tell yourself: Not my circus, not my monkeys." - Mark Borkowski.

I've been comping since the end of March and I won a family cinema ticket in May and also a lacoste goody bag in may (still waiting for the lacoste stuff to come).
Mustafa - i've done that quiz for days and days on end to win the shuffle and i haven't won yet! Well doneI've won loads of MP3 vouchers that i'll never use unless I get the ipod though. If i don't win the ipod i may give them away here!

I think your poll is a good idea because we get asked this question a lot.0

I haven't won anything really big but within a week of comping I have won about £30-£35 of prizes.2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please0

It's the anticipation of winning ................so nice to see the postman turn up with a parcel! :T
I've had mainly small wins and 3 or 4 medium ones. Still waiting for a biggie!42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot:hello: Good Luck everyone !:hello:0 -
Gosh I'm suprised so many win in the first month0

Do you think a lot of the 'within the first month' wins are the Avon comps?? :rotfl:_________________________________________0

My first win was a tee shirt, and a cd by someone called Nathan, never heard of him then, or since, and neither had the family, but the tee shirt was handy.0

When I started comping regularly it took me over 6 months to start seeing any prizes come in.
I think it takes that long to get a good build up of entries out there.
I'd won a couple of things before that, but it was winning those things that got me into this hobby.
Since I started winning I've had a steady stream of prizes, most of them dvd's and cd's, but a few good prizes are coming in now.0
