    Only enter the competitions you actually want to win.

    In particular, if a competition prize like a holiday or trip has to be taken on a particular date, don't waste time entering if you couldn't reasonably make that date, because they may be unwilling to transfer the prize to a friend or relative, or even to another entrant.

    Most sports events fit this category! Some really impressive holidays like cruises do, too. One date, one chance, such a pity if you win and can't go. My parents missed one, once, although that was maybe because we were all too young.

    If you have been doing them only 6 weeks i wouldn't worry, a lot of the comps you will have entered will finish end of feb and i bet you get loads of wins!:money:

  • Hi,

    I also have been comping for 6 weeks now and no win as yet, I can only manage about 60 a day but try to do more at the weekends. Hubby and I both came out on Virgin Pay your Bills but I didn't know so I am still on a downer about that.

    I believe a win is just round the corner for us all, try and forget about it and just have fun:j
    Big Thanks to all those who post competitions you are stars!
  • I haven't won anything either - but i'm still trying - it is good to see how many people are winning as it keeps me believing that I'm gonna win at some point!
    Have only won small things - amounting to just over £100. A lot better than nothing though! :j :hello: :dance:
    October winnings - bag of organic compost and 2 Grolsch glasses :T


    Number 451 - winnings to date - about £100

    Don't get down about it.

    I started in February last year entering about 20 comps a day and won nothing all year. My New Year resoloution though was to spend my evenings doing comps instead of watching the box. I now enter virtually every comp I find and look at my signature for the results. Also if you have only been entering for a short time, many comps you entered may not have even finished yet.

    Good luck
