    Ive won one small calendar all year. Last year I only one 4 prizes but they were good ones. There's more people entering, chances of winning seem to be going down, something will turn up at some point if you persevere. But it may take a while.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It's a saturated market not helped when people are informed it's a way of making money. Only way to do that is to work, which a few people cant be arsed to do

    Yeah ok i get it people... I'm impatient! I wish i wasn't but can't help it lol. I'm entering to get different prizes, big and small. At the minute i would just love to win some nice beauty stuff to treat myself. Guess i'll just have to keep plodding along with it then and see what happens


    Blog comps are the best place for nice beauty stuff with low entry but not if you're using an obvious comping handle.

    I'm amazed how many entering my rafflecopters call themselves Comping Clive or some such, it doesn't bother me but it does bother some people.
  • In 2012-13 I won a few decent things, a TV, ipad, playstation, cash. This year i've won hardly anything at all. You should never expect to win. Just be grateful if you do.

    Wouldn't we all like to win some nice beauty stuff! I've never won any in 4 years
    2014: Desolation of Smaug DVD, Magix photo programme, RUSH DVD, £100 Lands End voucher, Hugo Boss La Vie perfume, £1000 Tesco vouchers, Winnie the Pooh Bundle, 7 night holiday to Spain

    There's a girl with a blog Victoria's Vintage . And she has won a whole load of stuff, mainly beauty, But she must be spending hours every day comping. Take a look :)

    Don't get disheartened. Maybe because you've not won a sausage yet this means you'll have a bigger win to offset it ;) keep the faith
    Trying to save up for a deposit for a mortgage....could be a while!!

    Comping since 15/06/2014 - thanks to all those who post the competitions ❤️😀

    If you enjoy reading books are quite easy to win. Try goodreads, I won so many over the first few months I stopped doing it cos I couldn't get through them. I was watching tv opening 10 tabs at a time & clicking enter without checking what it was about - I got one in Dutch lol so I'd recommend reading the details! ;)
    Thanks to the members that post competitions, especially the regulars :A
