I started my wishlist at the start of the year and this is how it is looking so far. Still a lot to achieve but with how easy comping is if you watched the programme yesterday surely it can be done:)

Done nothing, won nothing
i might start dipping in again though as i need luggage for my holidaySpeak your mind.- Nobody else will do it for you.0 -
If that's your wishlist Captainjack2, I'd prepare yourself now to be seriously disappointed !! My wishlist is simple....1 win a month on average. Unless you're specially tracking down "archery stuff" competitions, you've got next to no chance of fulfilling your wishes.
And sorry to burst your bubble re the TV programme, entering Comps is easy....winning isn't.0 -
My wishlist is simple, if I enter I want to win it.0

Anyone can win if they put in the effort. I'm expecting to achieve half of what on my wishlist by the end of the year.0

Rubbish
you can put in 8 hours everyday and come away with sod all
or you can enter 10 and come away with a prize
it's all luck - unless you enter the rigged voting contests or are a literacy genius with the tie breaker compsSpeak your mind.- Nobody else will do it for you.0 -
I must be a literacy genius because I have never won a voting comp.0

My *wish list* is very short:
-Books-doing well on this one had a few so far
-Kindle/tablet
-vouchers/gift cards2018 wins-12wins0 -
I admire your optimism. The reality is far far different. To put it into perspective, I entered 8,000 Competitions in 2010. I won 5 things. The average win rate is 1 in approx. 1500 entries. If there's 100 items on your list, then you need to be entering 411 Comps a day to be on target. Good luck with that one !!captainjack2 wrote: »Anyone can win if they put in the effort.

I don't have a wish list, if I see something I like or could gift I enter. If I win then great!Started Comping: 1st June 2015
Prizes so far: 12kg Dog Food, Pro-Thermal Cream, Kindle Fire HD, Playing Cards, Canvas Bag, Cherry Tree, Jupiter Ascending Merch, Jelly Footballs, Afternoon Tea0 -
