    I know exactly what you mean! I haven't been doing them as often as I should but I'm really going to get my head on and enter all the ones that I have use for over the next few months. Good Luck Santashelper!

    Another one feeling a little disheartened. I must enter 40-50 comps a week which is not a huge amount but am getting a little down. Not had a win for 4/5 months now. Some people seem to have a lucky streak. Keep persevering and you will reap the rewards one day soon! xx

    just keep persevering and you will win! Wins are like buses, none for a while and then several at once! I just enter as many as I have time to, it gets quite addictive too, but it is rewarding when the prizes do start dropping on your doormat!

    hi i work on the theory the more you do the more chance you have of winning,when you think about it 40 or 50 competitions a week is not much really,less than ten a day,there will be people on here that spend hours doing competitions,and will win loads but then again thats because they enter loads,i personally spend about 2 or 3 hours a day doing competitions,sometimes more,sometimes less,and then i guess it also depends what sort of competitions you do too,if you only do competitions with top prizes then youll have less chance of winning as there will be more people entering,with little prizes there will be less people enetering,more chance of winning,also going for prizes where there are multiple winners where you stand a better chance of winning,,i must admit i do get fed up with doing them sometimes but then i give it a break then catch up on them,you will win eventually,hope this helps,and good luck xx
    It`s getting to the point

    dont get disheartened - I started in April and have won quite a few bits - but this week the "buses" have kept coming & coming (they were probably all stuck because of the rain and its a back log - lol )

    I always thought these comp sites were a con and no one won anything but believe me I was TOTALY wrong - to booster your moral keep an eye out for the sites with big numbers of winners - i.e loreal, miss sporty, Pirelli you then stand a good chance

    recent big number of winners sites were - beefy & lamby (book ) motorbike dvd, British gas green survival pack

    I try to get on here everyday but if not every 2 days otherwise you can have upto 20 pages to work through.

    keep entering as many as you can your luck will change soon Im sure. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you all.
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T
