    I read this as doughnut.

    I have been baking cakes so it's gone to my head!

    It's the same really probably less, as I'm not doing twitter that much any more. :(

    But like others have said, it's all down to luck of the draw! :(

    I've only been regularly comping since the beginning of the year (I've comped before but only once in a blue moon). I've won some great things that I'm really grateful for but the value hasn't been massively high. I'm crossing my fingers for myself and everyone to have some nice wins soon :)

    I've only won 2 small items so far this year- I'd got 7 by the start of April last year.

    But I don't think there's as much variety in prizes this year. There seem to be more doing promotional film goodie bags over a number of different sites, but hardly any variation between them.

    86 wins, wow... do you know what your split is, Daza, across different medias?

    I'm quite surprised - I've won most things from FB this first quarter.
    I am on 26 since 1st Jan, nearly half from FB.

    Nelie - you look like you're doing quite well with 23 wins so far in your signature :)

    We shouldn't dwell on what we haven't won, just appreciate what have won!

    Fair enough it may be less than what you are used to, but does that not make you more grateful for when you do win a prize??

    Most of those are ebooks or books from goodreads :) it's all I seem to win! But it makes my visits to London go quicker!

    This time last year I was on 65. So it just shows how much I won on twitter! :/

    I think people are luckier than others :) But you're right becca, I love all the wins so far this year :).
