before you had your first win? Also, what's been your best win? Not necessarily the most valuable, just the one you've appreciated most?
I'm yet to win anything at all and getting a bit dispirited, thought it would be nice to hear your stories!

Months. And there's still months between wins as I only have time to enter things a couple of days a week.
My best wins have been things I wouldn't/couldn't have bought for myself. So the Samsung tablet that I very nearly sold, and now wouldn't be without. And the hotels.com gift voucher which meant it was affordable to go to Amsterdam for a big birthday with a zero on the end - couldn't have done it otherwise.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.0 -
About 6 weeks! My best has been a years supply of James Wellbeloved dog food (12 x 15kg bags).I just enter and forget...hoping to win something!0

2013 -£1550 / £2013
2014 -£1955.95 / £2014

3 months 'til my first win which was an Aspinal handbag with the Telegraph, it's still going strong and looking fab
Best win - I've had loads of lovely (and more valuable) wins over nearly 6 years, but the VisitScotland trip to the Outer Hebrides a couple of years ago was fantastic - although it was for 2 people, I went on my own and it gave me a chance to reflect and put my life back together...
My husband would say my best win was his Cube mountain bike I won last year as it's in regular use for commuting0 -
6 minutes 32 secondsRational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

I won my first & best prize within a couple of weeks of starting. I've won a few things since but nothing as good. I have periods where I get disheartened & give up when i've not won anything but i'm too addicted now & always come back to it. :rotfl:0

won an adult scooter ages ago - still in the box
hardly anything else worth writing home about0 -
2 weeks, it was an ebook that I can't even read because it's through Itunes and I have no Apple products to read it on (didn't read the t&c's). My best has been my Tassimo Charmy that I won through The Times, I've been after one for ages.Make £10 per day-
June: £100/£3000 -
I won some ballet tickets after about a month of comping but my best win by far was a holiday to Florida which we went on in March this year.
Top wins - Florida holiday, North Carolina holiday, Sky TV for a year, wine for a year
Thanks to all who post and good luck to everyone!!:rotfl:0
