    one prize a month is still pretty good ! i've had some months where I have won nothing then boom a lovely big prize (like my 2 in my sign appear within 2 days of each other - its an old sig tbh i keep forgettign to change it lol)

    just think thats 3 lovely prizes you have won this year - 3 treats for yourself or loved ones for free and thats somethign to be happy about

    Reason 'luck' is down is because competitions are now saturated with entries

    The older compers seem to have done well in the past and now everyone is getting dribs and drabs

    It's like ebay - years ago you used to be able to make quite a bit on there, now everyone and their dog is selling so turning a decent amount of money is a rareity
  • How many competitions per day/week do you all enter?

    Does anyone find their luck since the turn of the year has vanished?

    I've been comping since 2011 and my luck has never been this bad, I'm only just scraping one prize a month and it's really disheartening

    I'm beginning to wonder who I've !!!!ed off :(

    Snap, crackle and pop.

    I am the same I had such a good January - nothing will probably top it - but since then I've won little, I think it's one prize? I enter a lot and play catch up most days. Fingers crossed for ALL.
    Hope we all win one of our wishes this week!

    Same here. I thought last year was bad but 2014 is dire.

    In 2012 had a fab year with lots of big prizes inc ITV:D, £2012 prepaid visa and £1100 Asda vouchers.

    2013 won a few prizes which were mainly small wins but quite a few over the months.

    2014 has been awful. My last prize was beginning of Feb and it was a box of After Eights from the daily Nescafe Dolce Gusto comp. Only other things are a book, mascara and body cream :(

    Thing is I am entering more now since I moved here from Loquax when they closed their main site but the wins have gone right down.

    I agree with Sax11 and think that each comp is now saturated with entries and as I have always said, for 99% of these comps winning is down to one thing, and one thing only......luck..

    Please can I have some , luck that is ;)
    The best things in life are free.....

    Wot ! you're wining a prize every month !!!!

    Complete zilch for me, chin up at least you're winning something.

    The 'big win' may be just around the corner - well I'm hoping so
    2016 Wins - None
