    I am lucky in that I've never really gone more than about 6 weeks without a win of some description, however this year has been pretty dry altogether in that I've not had one single "big" win and most months only 1-3 quite small ones! Still the little prizes keep you motivated I suppose so I'm not quitting!

    All of this month. I'm normally lucky enough to get a prize each month but nothing so far. July isn't being kind yet.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    Not really complaining, just got me wondering about dry spells so I could get some perspective. ;)

    My last decent prize was mid march but I did win a bottle of Heinz sauce in April. It's my own fault I haven't done as much comping since I started my new job in April.
