    Hope you win soon, I won a few things last year but this year from Jan to about 2 weeks ago I won absolutely nothing, have only won a couple of small things in the last week of a book and a £10 voucher but am happy that its a win! I don't enter that many comps its just a hobby when I have time.
    Entering a few comps here and there 2020 seems my best year for wins so far:- iphone xs, limited edition whiskey, Masha and the Bear toys, newborn baby stuff, 3 x books, 12 months membership to diet app, bottle of syrup, Baby Shark singing puppet, children’s book, Nasty vegan shake x 2 packs.

    Not boasting/showing off, but I've entered 73 so far today.
    I only know this because I downloaded an app for my phone which keeps a tally this morning and I've counted them! Obvs the more you enter the better your chance of an early win. On the other hand there was a new member here recently who won a major prize with their first one!
    Hope you start winning soon, don't give up yet.

    It's not a stupid question-it's one we have all asked in the past.The title tells you what the subject is so why read it if you don't want to advise and why do some people feel that they can write nasty comments-just don't read the thread and get over yourselves.There are many helpful people on this forum and some that should just be quiet and let others help/advise people.

    Please don't be put off asking any future questions or joining in any further discussions carebear95 by the pathetic comments. It does occasionally happen but it is not really the norm on here for people to be so obnoxious unfortunately you see the same names sometimes crop up who just don't seem able to help themselves. Your question was not stupid and just because it has been asked before does not mean it cannot or will not be asked again in the future. Feel free to ask what you want when you want you have as much right as anyone else using the forum whether they have been here 10 years and you 10 minutes makes no difference whatsoever.

    And nobody has even pointed out the shortcomings of the search function on here :mad:

    Another pointless,negative attitude that doesn't help or benefit anyone.If the title of the thread is of no interest to you -why read it
