    You aren't saving £2008. Your goal is to win prizes of that value.. well, when you combine their total! :)

    So you can start now!

    You need to give it more than 15 weeks - many people wait 6 months or more before their first win so you really need to get into the mindset of enjoying entering the comps and keeping your fingers crossed for a win, but not seeing it as the be-all and end-all!
