    I love when I tell people I enter competitions
    "I can't see why you bother. You'll never win anything exciting" Then they go off to buy a lottery ticket to try and win £15million :rotfl:

    She said she doesn't enter as many now as she thinks they are looking for younger people!


    She also said that she used to win every week, but doesn't now, but didn't say how often she wins now.


    Martin said that she follows him, so I wonder if she belongs to these forums?

    Nobody is winning as much, they're all busy blogging about comping or going on the telly instead now...

  • This is one of my gripes when I read stuff like the tickets - ONLY ENTER WHAT YOU WANT TO WIN. Id like to think most of us on here are ethical and will leave competitions you dont want to win to other forum users...I mean I aint going to enter for baby stuff (I aint got one), womens underwear (I aint a woman) or dogs toys (I dont have one)

    Ahhh i see. It did used to be a lot easier to win. Ive been comping 11 years now and ive noticed big differences.

    I did like the fact that those two who were set the comping challenge actually understood that its not instant and werent like the usual newbies that start a thread after a week of comping saying ive done x amount and not won haha They do make me laugh those threads :rotfl:
  • Nowadays ( for most compers ) what they actually spend on their hobby will probably exceed the value of any prizes that they might win.
