i love this hobby because i love the fact there are a group of people out there who post comps and answers reducing their own chances just so as that everyone may have a better chance at some extra little treats in their lives. all whilst not knowing each other, there is so much anonymous kindness in this hobby and that needs to be so appreciated!!
i love being part of that community and enjoy the comping itself and winning is a bonus, as is being messaged out of the blue saying you have made someones day as they won from your post, someone once won a cruise from my post and it made me cry as they wouldn't have been able to go on holiday otherwise and their kids were running round the house jumping for joy. it's about that element too.

If it's not for you then move on and take up something else - totally cool. For me it's about knowing that no matter what sort of day i'm having, comping could potentially change it at any moment for the better.

Thanks to all who post comps. Best of luck to you.

the stuff in my sig is old. I have not won anything for a long long time. I never win anything big either. It just gets me down

Stop doing it then and go and find something that you enjoy doing.

It's a hard slog, I go through peaks & troughs of effort. When I need a wee boost I enter all the local paper comps/local radio & FB pages of local companies & theatres, usually something turns up to keep me going. Good luck, (but it's not luck it's a game of odds)

Gonna be quite honest here xxx Comping can make you feel very down if you are expecting the prizes to come rolling through your door As with everything in life, once it stops being enjoyable then just move on.....One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is being part of this amazing kind community xx Everyone dreams of winning big, and yes-it can happen, but also there will be lots of people who go for months, even years without winning, then 3 might come at once!
People aren't really going to be sympathetic, as we are all in the same boat-we all enter competitions "Just in Case" Honestly, take a break if it's making you feel this way x

People win everyday of the week, look at IWIW,
However sometimes it may take longer, my last win (big win) was in feb £2014.00, before that it was september £1000.00.
I have little wins occasionally, but its the knowledge that whether a week a month, 6 months even a year i will win another nice big prize.

If you comp expecting to win weekly then you shouldnt be comping.
Its FREE fun with a chance of a big prize, it dont cost anything apart from a couple hours here and there..

I really cannot see the point of keep filling in stupid forms and stupid like and shares and retweets when you don't win. Waste of time.

Almost as much time wasting, as posting it in the "I won" threads.

I just comp around other things in life, If I win that's fab,If I don't I move on to the next day.

Try and enjoy what you do and see the win as a bonus

Good luck x

Not everyone can win everything, thousands upon thousands of people enter competitions everyday, some luckier than others granted, but if everyone who filled in a form was expecting to win then we would all be incredibly disappointed. Some days you'll be lucky, and often enough most days you wont. If you're finding it a tedious non-return hobby then perhaps find something else to occupy your time? and who knows some time out might prove a bonus and a win might just drop in your inbox or doormat? surely every competition you've entered couldn't have ended already? Good Luck x

I just do it for fun and because I love this site, if it feels like a chore then maybe it's not for you. Good luck though
