Long term compers, what have you NEVER won?

I've been doing competitions for 11 years now. When I first started I used to win quite regularly. I hadn't won anything for years until I had a big 10k win a year ago, and haven't won anything since.
I was just thinking that in all my years of comping, I have never won from a magazine like chat or take a break. I have never won a holiday or anything on Facebook either.
Has anything eluded you over the years?
I am very grateful for everything that I have won but I do miss the days of comping before social media took off !

Until recently, I said I have never won cheese, but this year, I have won a dinner to dine for box that included some Pilgrim's Choice vouchers, so I can no longer say that. I have also won a fish slice in the past (still using that). I have won from a magazine (£100 this year). I have never won a TV or a phone, despite entering almost every comp posted for those two things over the last nine years, except for a few month break.0

Up until last week, I'd never won from the weekly magazines either, in five years of doing them all religiously. Then I won £100 from Take a Break last week so finally can cross that one off my list.
I've never won any of the comps for £100 vouchers which run on all the radio stations like Heart, Capital etc every week. They're next on my hitlist, along with the monthly puzzle mags.
Despite trying every single week, I've never won the weekly FB giveaways from Judes Ice cream, Next, Comms Express, Boost etc etc, although I did once win the Teletext Bamboozle one.
I've also never won cheese or a fishslice, but that's mainly because I've never entered a competition for either of these!!!

Until this year I'd never won an Easter choc comp (and must've entered thousands) or a magazine comp. I've never won on the mag dailys, but to be fair I don't enter every day. I've only ever won one follow and rt comp on twitter and I must've entered thousands!
too many comps..not enough time!0 -

This is what I was going to post. Is there a 'fish slice winners club' like there used to be an 'ITV winners club'?
