:hello: Hi, i'm new to this and have become completly addicted! 
I was just wondering if people can share their first win or....more importantly...their first big win? I know hearing this will give me a boost to continue on and hopefully does the same for other compers. :beer:
Also, do you remember how long after you first started comping that you had your first win?
Thanks and happy comping!

I was poorly in Feb this year and led up on the sofa and I spent a couple of hours entering competitions. 4 days later a Bouquet of flowers arrived, a prize for a caption competition.
Im a dipper, I dont do any for months then I spend days applying.
Dont give up, law of averages say you will win something someday. :beer:0 -
my first win was a set of 10 hardback novels - I was 10 (and was hooked then!!)
in the past 18mths the biggest things I have won are PS3 60gb, an Xbox360 Elite, 2 nintendo DS's, Sony portable DVD player and a Sony Vaio laptop. (My kids think I'm god!;) )
There are many others prizes I have won which are smaller but so much better - tickets to shows, kids party, vouchers etc.
Keep going its worth it!
