How long is your longest dry spell?

Hi All

I have not won a bean in 3.5 months now and I remember months ago reading about someone who had a 6 months dry spell and it got me thinking............... how long is your longest dry spell and what was the win that broke it.

Thanks Batgirl

Ps Anyone got any tips for me to end my dryspell please PM me :D:D:D

    Can I also ask how many comps are you entering daily? Do just do the ones on here?

    Thanks

  • I've only just started and not really had time for a dry spell yet, But would suggest perservering with the instant wins as a way to escape your dry spell. there are a few text ones and the bodyshop and shrek ones.

    maybe all you need is a little break and the prizes will be flooding in again!

    I thought that too, 3 weeks would be fab I assume you guys must use better sites than me, that or you just have better Karma.
