Which do you find more fruitful

CTWs or FB comps?
I recently rescued a 6 month old puppy that was being neglected and finding myself with hardly any time to comp while he's settling in. Having to prioritise a bit, which comps do you find that you win more on between those two?

Usually do FB comps but hardly ever win (possibly 2-3 wins a year out of roughly 70-100 FB comps entered each day) and even then it's small prizes. CTWs are much quicker and better prizes but it's a big effort doing them all.

Thoughts?

    Just enjoy the time with your pup.
    Not had much luck on the CTW's or Facebook recently. I do much better on the daily magazines.
    Close your eyes and tap your heels together three times and think to yourself There's No Place Like Home.

    congratulations on your new puppy, and from one rescue-parent to another, well done on changing a life!

    I have no luck on either at the minute ;) but this early time with the dog is so important so don't worry too much.
    Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.

    Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:

    I do most of my comping at work so I'm spending most of my home time with the pup. Think I'm gonna give the CTWs a go.. determined to win one because I haven't yet!

    In all honesty the pup really isn't fussed by us. He was being left home alone 14 hours a day so I think he prefers to be on his own. He's slowly coming out of his shell and getting used to having people around 24/7, few more weeks and he'll be there I reckon :)

    Facebook for me. I rarely do C2W but Facebook wins are frequent. Good luck with the pup! It will be tough right now but so rewarding in the end.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    c2w is an abbreviation for Click To Win. The Click To Win competitions can be found in this thread
    they are nothing to do with Twitter.
