Sax11 my doggy makes me feel guilty and looks up with her sad eyes and with her pleading look "take me out mummy" so I have to take her walkies for 1 hour a day. The rest of the time I clean up after my good for nothing lazy sons, my daughter thinks shes a diva and leaves a trail of mess where ever she goes. My husband is a builder and quite happy to support me in return for dinner on the table pronto, clothes washed and other wifey things. I visit my mother, shop, ebay, and browse on the internet if I have any spare time and comp for about a hour to two hours per day mostly in the evenings. I was just saying I have had zero wins in the past 6 weeks which has never happend before and I was wondering why and what would other compers advise. If I dont win its not the end of the world, I am sure hubby can buy me what I need as long as I behave myself!0

Oh dear what's going on here then?
I haven't won anything since Feb even though I spend a great deal of my day entering numerous competitions, I will carry on entering because if you don't enter you don't even get the chance to win.
Good luck everyone0 -
I've won 58 things since January, for which I'm incredibly grateful...
When (not if) I have a dry spell, I'll do what I always do... keep on entering and forgetting. That's by far the best way to be. It's a hobby, not a chore...
It's comping that's the hobby, not the winning...0 -
I've never won anything in competitions lottery yes (small amounts don't get excited!) raffles yes but online or other competitions nothing.I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.0

How often do you enter?
My 58 wins this year come from an average 300 comp entries a day.
I only enter things that are interesting or wanted done a few today but not doing probably 300 a year let alone a dayI started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.0 -
I only enter what I want to as well, Marvin, and I ad a dry spell from the end of November until last month when I won an ipad and then a £250 voucher for Tokyo Laundry (both courtesy of Laks). I was just on the point of saying enough when I won these so keep entering and the wins will come.
Good luck and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.0 -
I do between 200 and 250 per week and have had quite a few wins, in april i won a crate of wine and may a i pod touch plus lots of other bits like restaurant gift cards, fit flops, a glass cake stand. I am just having a dry period hopefully my luck will change soon!0

Last year I won quite a few things (averaging 3-4 wins a month), this year has been pitiful in comparison but I'm plodding away with the mantra...gotta be in it to win it.
If I win, great...if not then its not something I had in the first place so haven't lost anything.
Just hoping the comping fairy drops a family holiday to Florida my way though:D0
