Dry spell? No wins roll call!

Options
Sometimes I get completely deflated about the fact I enter so many competitions every day and haven't won for months, especially when you can peek at the threads on here and people seem to win all the time!

SO I thought I'd do a "roll call" to remind myself and also just make everyone else feel better that we aren't the ONLY ones not winning?! ...if that makes sense...
I hope you have a happy day full of kindness :A

    Had a six month gap with no wins last year, then small wins November/December.

    Long no win spells seem to be becoming the norm for me at least, so stay positive.

    Edited to add: have had a mags daily win notification- a book, small but appreciated.
  • dry spell here too :)

    Nothing in 2018, yet :)
  • Nothing here either, I (perhaps sadly!) have kept a spreadsheet of my wins over the years and theres an obvious decline on the amount of wins year on year.

    I think I will officially retire my decade-long comping hat when the inevitable time comes when Martin mentions our comping hobby on his super popular TV show! :)
