    If you're concentrating on baby/ kiddy comps then blogs are some of the the best places to find them.

    Eighth Anniversary 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    In the last 3 weeks, I've averaged around 250 per day, making over 5,000 comps entered. On that basis, I usually get around 2 wins per week (more often than not smaller things), and since 1st Jan 2014, I've won a total of 32 prizes.

    I think that if you are desperate to win anything you should look for smaller items (like the crisps and pens that sax11 doesn't enter for - if I need it, want it, or will use it, I enter for it), or competitions where there are lots of prizes available. I also recommend taking a look at the freebies board on here: not wins as such, but there are often baby-related bits on offer which would come in handy for you in a few weeks... And it's always nice to get something through the post :D

    Let's hope you don't have to write something witty as a tiebreaker ;)

    :rotfl:
  • wins will come just keep going

    There is so many freebies before you have your baby so many newsletters to sign up to like Johnson's for wet wipes bounty for a new born pack mother care plus sites like http://www.latestfreestuff.co.uk/todays-freebies/
    so many baby products to get ok some are samples but every bit helps to reduce outgoings
    total wins so far 10/52

    2014: £312/£2014 worth of wins :rotfl:

    I have been comping since the 31st so that is just over two weeks now.

    I have entered nearing the 2500 mark, online, on facebook, twitter, mag dailies etc.

    After a week i had two really small wins, and on Sunday i won some quite expensive perfume which i received today :D

    What i do is go in for all competitions that will be of use for me, my partner and our families, small and big. Anything that would be useful for you or your family, do the comp. It might just be a fish slice, a mug or some seasoning that you can use in your cooking. Go in for it if it will be of some use. It gives you a broader range of possible wins then.

    Keep at it, your win will come along :D
