A question about : Ok I give Up!

title=FrownIve decided to have a break from comping for a while,have only won a lipstick in feb,nothing since, hopefully a break for a while will bring me some luck once i start again.

Best answers:

  • I know exactly how you feel, I have only won a Liz Earle cleanse and polish since Feb
  • I don't comp,Think of all the waste time you spend doing comps when you could be making Whoopeee.
  • I have won a watch(not expensive one) and cinema tickets for a cinema donks away, thats it since Feb too. I started the year well with the prizes in my signature, then it went downhill, then changed my name and its got worse!
  • I havent won a thing since November last year! But before that I have won computers, tvs, holidays (including a Ј7500 Thailand trip) so thats what keeps me going, its a hobby for me so I dont get fed up best frame of mind to be in. Just have faith x
  • I feel the same 4 small items in two years, i think i will have a break too..
    good luck x
  • I do it when I am watching television or OH is playing computer games, It means we chat but are doing our own thing too.
    I like the dreaming and the what ifs. Although it would be awesome if the dreams came true. Come on ITV win
  • i've not won since December last year but i think a biggie must be on it's way to me
  • I took a break for a few weeks, then heard that I had won a Yardley gift set from a competition I had entered a little while before. This gave me the kick start I needed and I started again. A couple of days later I won Ј500 - take a break, but don`t give up. Fingers crossed for your comping in the future.
  • I do the same as you Kitten Pie, the OH is busy playing on fifa so i might aswell be in my own world dreaming of winning everything i enter.......lol.
    I havent won anything since the start of April but this year on my wins i have won a holiday to Jamaica, HTC with Ј270 top ups and a Ј300 travel system for bambino.........that is the reason why i carry on and the fact that it gets me out of the ironing. All i do now though is go straight to the ones that end tomorrow and enter them that way rather than sit here all day. Wishing everyone lots of luck xxx
  • One thing's for sure, you'll win even less if you stop
  • Thanks for your replies,glad im not the only one not winning!
  • don't enter just to win anything its pointless. enter the ones that you really want to win but don't be disappointed if you don't win. treat it as a hobby and then when you get a win it feels worth it
  • We all go through spells where we win nothing or very little and I know it can get you down but you need to stay positive and focus on the things you really want to win!
    I used to enter for all sorts of things but in the last month or so I have been concentrating my efforts on things I really wanted and I have won an iPad 3, toys for the kids, gok wan glasses, cinema tickets and some other bits!
    Focus your efforts and you will reap the reward!
    "What you see in your mind, you will hold in your hand" - a quote from The Secret (a book I would definitely recommend readind!)
  • Before you throw in the towel and if you don't mind winning anything why not enter the daily Glamour comps.( mostly make up bits)
    It's the only one i'm hanging onto at the moment as things are slowing down at my end too!
    Good luck x
  • I had such a good end to last year and even in Jan and Feb I won over Ј1500 worth of items, then March to now I've won little.. I maxed it and won Ј500 last month, but when you're winning over 14 - 19 items a month and it slows down to 3 or 4, it does get disheartening. I always think that there are so many new people entering competitions now that the prizes are reduced, but at the end of the day someone has to win!
    I've started taking more time for myself recently, having a few days off here and there, I don't miss that many competitions, and I know that I can catch up, but I find not winning frustrates me less, if I'm not putting in all the hours and winning little.
    Don't give up, just take a fresh approach, the wins will come.
    Good luck everyone
  • I know how you feel. I enter lots of competitions and rush home eveyday to see if I have a WEM and the find I am disppointed. However I have won a few small items and reading the IWIWIW keeps me going. You have to be in it to win it.
