    I realise I'm a bit late in starting but I've just discovered this thread and I'm getting addicted!

    Can I join the £2008 for 2008 club?

    How many competitions does everyone enter each day. You're all doing really well, do you just enter a few each day or do you have to spend hours to boost your chances?

    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!

    Exactly. I only enter competitions I actually want to win though, so I don't end up with useless tat (to me) that someone else would have really loved.

    If you look at my signature, what you see there is the grand total of all my wins for the entire year so far, so it takes time and patience. I enter competitions every day, at least 100 a week in total, and that's all I have won but because I wanted all the prizes I had been entering for, I am really happy with my wins.
  • My total still stands at around £130 (The AC/DC shoot was priceless!)

    Can I join up please (do I need to PM someone?)
  • Me too! I'd like to join but I assume its maybe too late for 2008 now? What is the 'comping' year?
    I've just read Dunners first post and I've already smashed the target and I only started comping when Glamour where doing their monthly promotion this year, so I'm well chuffed and definately addicted!
  • Cheeky, it's never too late to join!! :D

    My total is now up to, I'd estimate, £160.
