I'm actually just coming back from a comping break like you.. life got busy and it felt more like a chore to enter than a pleasure.
Good luck!Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.
Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:0 -
I'm on a sort of semi-break. I've stopped doing the Click 2 Wins (the captcha issue is one of the main reasons) and just concentrated on stuff that's posted on the forums. My comping count hasn't half dropped, but I don't feel as if I have to finish everything.
I've still won a few little bits, but it got to a point where it wasn't fun anymore trying to do everything.
I feel a bit more relaxed now, and I'm getting other stuff done away from the computer.
Be LuckyBEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

I am thinking of taking a break but it is quite hard to stop and I miss the hope of a win. I am having a dry spell so I might get fed up soon and that would make it easier to take a break. I'm surprised someone hasn't studied addiction to comping!0

I take a break from entering competitions most weekends.
More to life that sitting in front of a computer screen on a Saturday and Sunday.0 -
I have been a comper for over a decade and these last few weeks I have for the first time thought about giving up for quite a while, several months at least.
It's the first year I have found next to nothing to enter for, and the first year I have not won even something small so far on in the year.
However the serious lack of stuff to enter for means I breeze through in less than an hour a day.
Can't decide yet 😕63 mortgage payments to go.
Zero wins 2016 😥0 -
Yes, been doing mainly Goodreads since Xmas with 26 wins
I had a month without the internet and a laptop and then I was busy looking for a new job as I have to leave mine in June (thankfully!) and I was dating someone too for a few weeks.0
