    I haven't had a win since February, laptop died and comping on a tablets limits what I enter and how quickly i can do them. Off work sick today and am fighting the urge to sleep to try and get some comps done.
  • nixnjj ... You can get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for a tablet pretty cheap, I think, on Amazon ... might make your comping a bit easier.
  • My dry spell over I won a price runner voucher for £50 not sure what voucher though! I won 3 happy egg instant win prizes, only small things but better than nothing. I am still waiting for a big win in over a year my biggest win has been a i pod touch approx £150, I enter all the win a £1,00 wardrobe etc but nothing as yet. I am hoping for a biggie round the corner:grin:
  • Getting fed up too! :(

    I won something each month last year but this year, I think I have only won about 4 things. Very disheartened when entering at the moment but still trying.

    I've been comping since December. Enter hundreds every day and haven't won a single thing.

    Was telling a friend last week about comping. She txt me two days later saying 'it's great this comping, won a prize on FB from that comp you tagged me in'. I enter hundreds a day for months and zip. She wins the first she enters. I know it shouldn't but it's peeved me off that much I have decided to give up.


    That sounds terrible. I'm made up for her since I know she'll love the prize. So I don't mean it in that way.....hopefully you know what I mean and I don't sound like some jealous cow.

    Is there anything about your entries you could change, like do you have something like 'comper' or 'MSE' in your email? Do you c&p the link so they can't tell you've come from MSE?

    I think the last time I won anything was about 4/5 weeks ago so I'm thinking this is my longest dry spell apart from the nearly 3 months it took me when I first started, to get a first win!
    Hope things perk up at least a little as I haven't yet had a totally dry month in 2 years! :(

    No.


    My email is just my first initial, last name and year of birth.


    I don't copy and paste. Just click. I wasn't aware that mattered.


    Sorry. I sound like a right whiny cow. I just found it a bit disheartening.

    I never thought that matters
  • On my blog I can see how many came from MSE but not which individuals did so.
