I quite fancy entering some of the comps! Any tips or comments on chances of winning? (I know, I know ...! Crystal ball time 🙄🤣)

    Honestly it takes a while but if you enter as many as you can you have more chance of winning. When i first started it took me about a week of entering comps for hours a day to complete the lists but now when i sort them to closing date it takes an hour or two to go through all the ones I havent entered. Skip any you don't really want to win which will save you some time. 
    Obviously there is guarantee of a win but its fun to do.

    I have been entring comps for years and i have been very lucky. Although my my luck in the last 2 years has been a lot less. There seems to be a lot more people entering and a lot less comps. However its always possible to win. The more comps you enter the higher your chances. My biggest prizes have come from comps where you need to put in some effort, pictures, videos story writing etc.  My advice would be enter for the fun of it , dont expect too much and any prizes are a bonus. Good luck.
    Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A
