How long into comping did you get your first win?

I've been back into comping for a month and no wins as yet so wondering when others got their first win?

    Think it took about 6 weeks to get my first win, but some people get them quicker...its just the luck of the draw!
    Don't give up!

    I was lucky - a random win started me off 'officially' comping... after starting trying, it took eight days for the next.

    It's going to vary, luck of the draw and all that... but a nice win could be just around the corner if you stick at it. :)

    My thoughts exactly beckyjazz!
    I started again last year after a 35 year gap, and won a dress from Henri Lloyd on Facebook three days later. Unfortunately I wasn't Facebook savvy enough and didn't check my 'other' messages until six weeks later. I grovelled and snivelled and luckily they were really good about it, even getting it delivered in person from the local store!

    It does come across as rude but to be fair when you have been on the board for while these threads become so tedious.

    If you search you will find so many with the same theme.

    Basically you can comp for years and win nothing or enter one competition and win.

    It is a stupid question sorry but it is.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    There is no such thing as a stupid question, no one can realistically expect you to trawl through a forum that's been around for several years just in case a question has been asked before.. The brilliant thing about the forum is that there is no obligation to read a post and equally no obligation to reply..
