    I'm also having a drought, haven't even had a small win! Think the last thing I won was a hair colour from L'Oreal - in July or some time round then. Feeling quite disheartened with it, but I know that if I'm not in then I won't win. Have decided to do more of the postal ones (which obviously is no use at the moment with the d@mn postal strike) so maybe they'll prove more fruitful.

    Stick at it tinker and hjb. There are prizes out there with our names on them! ;)
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.
  • keep your pekers up i am one of the same no wins as yet but we only live in hope our day will come

    The wins board does seem a bit quiet lately :(, I guess a lot of us are going thru a lull at the moment, especially as we're not even getting our ickle freebies, that keep us going. Im definately having postal withdrawal symptons _pale_ . But Chin Up Compers The Tide Will Turn. Good Luck Everyone :)

    I have won 5 things since I starting comping about 4 months ago, three little things and two biggies. I am not complaining at all, but I was expecting a few more small things like cds/dvd/books etc as I enter about 500 comps a week.:confused:

    Oh well hopefully later this week this board will be buzzing with all the wins delivered after the postal strike has finished- fingers crossed for everyone! :beer:
