Sorry for the moan...

Options
I see so many ''I haven't won anything in ages'' threads and I want to add my own (sorry). But seriously, I haven't won anything in ages!! You know sometimes you think 'I'm due a win soon'... thats how I've felt for like the last month!! haha. It just isn't happening.

I get quite a few freebies through my blog, usually in exchange for a review, but it's not the same as winning something. Winning is a surprise and I love the little butterflies I get when I see 'congratulations' in an email... I miss that!! No matter what the prize.

Its got to be my turn soon!! I hope.. :grinheart

    I went for five weeks winning nothing recently, but then in the last three weeks I have won something practically every day and some nice prizes to boot. Keep on keeping on. If you stop entering you definitely won't win.

    Lauren, I follow your blog and you do a fantastic job! You write great reviews and run some lovely competitions on it too so I wish you lots of luck in your own comping, especially in the MSC Cruise Outfit Competition! You really suit that dress and shoes! fingers-crossed-smiley-emoticon.gif
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    The comping fairy's forgotten about me too. I keep feeling I'm "due" a win but nothing happens. But I know it will happen again and I just keep going!

    I don't enter for things I don't want/know someone who wants, which for me dis-counts most DVDs etc, most make up etc. and other smaller prizes. So I understandably have never won the same volume of prizes as those who do. But probability-wise I "should" have won something over a month ago and still waiting. (I do know it's all luck and don't really have expectations, just hopes!)

    Aww thank you :O) Its lovely to know people actually read my blog!!

    I'd love to win that MSC competition, its to win 500 pounds which I could really do with right now!! So BIG fingers crossed for me :p

    Middy_Oil I don't enter for the little things I don't want either, I'd much prefer hardly any wins and actually win something great or that I really want, than to win lots of little things that won't get used and shoved in a drawer or something. My last win was a set of pans a couple of months ago (that was my first win since xmas time!) and I was so grateful for them. I hope I get another win soon :o xx

    Do you do photo comps? The instant wins?
    All of my wins this month have come from ones I don't normally do
    My kenwood Kmixer was from a photo comp! My kindle and £100 visa were from the instants.

    I've actually only entered one photo comp. I'd love to do more as I love photography but whenever I find one, the subject is always something I don't have a photo of or don't have the chance to get out and do it.. I should make more of an effort to look for them actually, I'm sure there are plenty of photography competitions out there that I miss.

    I am always entering instant wins and have never won. Well, I tell a lie. I won a voucher from experience days (I think it was), at the time I had zero money left due to xmas and everything I wanted to do was more than the voucher's value...and everything was miles away from where I live. THEN the expiry was within a couple of weeks of me winning it. So it just went to waste. That didn't mean to turn in to a moan... sorry :p

    Thank you BlueBella xx
