    Been comping off here now for nearly 6 months - and not won anything yet.
    I'm not calling it a dry spell.... more of a drought

    Bless you, you've made me smile though ;) at least I'm not the only one with a postie who hates me!!!!

    I can't say I take any notice tbh


    If I win, I win

    If I don't, I don't :D

    I never take much notice of when I win, but the postman tends to call a few times a week.

    Personally, I don't have much luck with the daily comps - I've only won once on Shrek. I never win on the Avon ones, and I don't do the text ones. Even when Sci-fi-online was daily I didn't win on it!

    My wins seem to be scattered through the whole range - postal, email and online. I've yet to win a biggie - perhaps the next car will be mine!

    I do try to enter most of the comps on this site - I just steer clear of the ticket ones as I'd be unlikely to use them.

    Good luck. I'm sure if you persevere you'll break your drought soon.

    I have decided there is only one way to stop the drought and that is to enter more and moe comps. Spend about 2.5hrs friday 2 hrs yesterday and 1 hour so far today, surely I must win something this month ............. fingers crossed.

    I think it was about 3 weeks, a couple of months after I'd started comping.

    Wishing you luck for September!

    Not won anything, hopefully soon, i live in hope lol!
  • interesting to read this - i wonder how much the difference is in the time put in between the people who win all the time and those with dry spells.

    I think I'm in a dry spell now & not only that but no-one seems to be winning from my posts either :(

    Its been a few months for me too now, I think im more addicted to entering comps than the buzz from actually winning though :D

    I am going through a leaner spell just now. I have never gone more than 2 weeks without a prize sine starting the challenge in January, but I didn't get much in August. July though was a bumper month.
