    Thanks I appreciate the advice :) xx
  • Wow your not very friendly are you! I was being friendly in my post, I don't normally comment on newbie posts but thought no I'll be helpful this time, and yes I have been comping for nearly 3 years in started in August 2011 as a way to help with my depression, I don't know how many comps I have entered over that time as Weeowens says Its not worth counting just enter and forget so yes I was exaggerating but there was no need for you to pick me up on it I think that's very rude!

    Sorry if I came accross as being rude and unfriendly, that wasn't my intention at all! :( Perhaps it was the use of the :eek: - it was more of a "wow that's a lot" rather than "eek that's crazy" - my fault, it was a bad choice to use it, I was just surprised! I sometimes forget that humour/tone doesn't necessarily read well via text :) now that I've re-read "exaggerating for effect" I can see how that sounds a bit rude, when what I meant was I was wondering if you meant you had literally done millions or that you were saying "millions" as just an expression to emphasize that you had done a lot. I certainly didn't mean to offend you, I was just surprised by the numbers and didn't respond very eloquently :D

    Stick with it, you have only been at it a few weeks! I didn't get my first win until a year and a half of comping (but it was 15k with ITV so worth the wait!) That was back in November and ive not one anything since, just the luck of the draw. I always enelter holiday comps but sill yet to win one, I may never win one or any other comp again that's just how it goes.
