I might have more luck catching something on my rod then winning a competition.... waiting... wishing... fishing...

Boss: "I said go FIX the SPOUT in the road not FISH for TROUT in the road!"

Employees: "oh."

Doesn't look like we eat to-night!

1,2,3, 4, 5 once i caught a fish alive 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 then we let it go again

...hoping they've got valid fishing licences from local Council, otherwise Inspectors will 'net' them.

Trying his luck - a young Dixon of Dock Green

Winner, winner...chicken dinner! Thanks, @admin.

Great news! Congratulations!

Congratulations, savvycomper.

Awesome !!

Congratulations :)

And win we will.Amen to that

Good luck to all

Watch the movie The Secret. It's all about attitude. Also read the Blogs here. They offer some good advice. I hope for Good Luck for you tinman249!

thanks kindly divergent... will have a look :-)

Just keep at it Tinman! You'll win something eventually and then that will kick the mojo in to continue with comping :)

Don't give up tinman!

I know exactly! mattyclark. that's it I need a new email address. I won't be discouraged. Perhaps I should just edit my age lol. I hope we all win something soon..... I must have entered 10 competitions in the past 2 days. Is that good or bad?

Thats good. More the merrier

Hi tinman249, it happens to us all at some stage, great when your winning but hard work when your not. I'm not sure how long you've been comping but entering as many as you can, (of what you want to win), will help depending on how much time you want to spend.
Sometimes (like now) I cut right down, clean out files and emails, take a semi break and use the time to think up some answers to use for later. I've only ever done this twice but I end up feeling more organised and a whole lot more chirpy. Lots and lots of luck!

Congratulations :)

Might have to consult you for the Tattslotto numbers, Hawkstring! Congratulations.

Congratulations

Congrats!

Congrats!

Well done. My turn next! ;)

Well done enjoy

What was your winning number? I won't use that in the future ;-P

Congratulations!!

Awesome Toxic!!

Cheers, Trevsta. I'm heavy handed with the anchovies but that's how I roll.... ;)

Lol

Congrats :)

Super!

Anchovies! You old salty you. I must admit, I love fish sauce. Just never tried it on a pizza, lol.

Enjoy!

Awesome! I've found three prizes I didn't know I'd won, just by going back and checking pages. Not all of them reply to your comment or let you know. Sneaky. Well done!

Congratulations Julie :)

Congrats!

Congrats :)

Oooh yumm I was just about to go back and check the winner, don't need to now, enjoy :)

That's just nuts! .......Well, chocolate as well...... lol
I don't enter those comps - my two are allergic to nuts - practically the spectrum of nuts. EpiPens on-hand wherever we/they go. I so miss satay!!!!!!! :(

Nice win

I love chocolate, so this is a win for me! Husband loves nuts, and chocolate but not together, ha, so none for him! Sorry about the allergies.@toxicgherkin

Yummy!

Yum! Enjoy them all to yourself.

Yum! Lol @ poor hubby. Enjoy, Julie!

Not getting many bites !! Do ya reckon we'll scare the fish away if we went skinny dippin'

Dear God, let me just catch one and I'll never fish again!

Any second now.......we should get a bite!!!

Just fishing for attention!

I heard some fish like muddy water!

who said fishes don't come to the suburbs

Sustainable fishing practices at last - not a chance in Hell of catching one!

I saw the 'No Standing' sign. No mention of 'No Fishing'...

I hope we don't catch a toad in the hole...

"So, you come here often?"

You should have seen the one that got away!

hmmm somehow brother i dont think this is working quite the same as ice fishing back home!!

After we catch one, we shall return to work ay?

Do you think we'll catch an alien?

"You have arrived at your Destination!" "Mmm... Are you SURE your GPS is Working?????????????????????"

Pedestrian: "Getting any bites?"
Fisherman: "You're the fourth today".

And that son - is a full demonstration of internet marketing.

There is NO such thing as a bad day fishing :-)

Shredder's new plan to catch those Turtles was not going well.

Um, think it might be time for a new GPS Macca ... :/

Tasmania was such a small island, great fishing all round, but the locals were such simple folk, they always chose not to stray far from their homes.

Skulking in the shadows, granddad laughed his head off, he knew his grandsons were simple, but he never thought they'd actually believe his tales of what life was like in his day.

"You know what Johnny, I don't think these mud crabs are biting today. Maybe we'll go to the cat shelter tomorrow and try our luck with catfish."

"Not sure we'll be finding Nemo today..."

Quite possibly...a cast of thousands.....

No piranha biting today. I'm sure if we wait a bit, we can catch a passing Torana.

"I think I've caught something Charlie."
"What is it Jim?"
"It looks like Dads Old Boot?"

Granddad watched proudly as Dermot and Buster took his advice and went fishing for dinner. Meanwhile, Mrs Brown could be heard from the kitchen window yelling "Feckin' eedjits!"

The government said they sunk millions into roads but I'm not coming up with a thing.

No it's not just the hat that makes him look stupid...

Ice Fishing: attempting to fish while under the influence of Ice.

Council aids for the prawn industry

Nope.. Nothing fishy going on here!

They said this bait is guaranteed to catch fish from any water hole!

''Fish in the fast lane ...
Sure to make you lose your line''

Darryl Kerrigan: Dale dug a hole. Tell 'em Dale.
Dale Kerrigan: I dug a hole.

@toxicgherkin hi i like your caption, please send me your complete details to my email alaila@competitions.com.au -- thanks, have a good day ;)

Well deserved. Onya toxic!!

@alaila.alvarez
Sent! Cheers!

Congratulations, that's really great :)

...a brazillian.... ooh, must get my eyes checked!... ;)

That's bloody awesome. Great luck there roobycat!!

So fun!!

Thanks guys! Yes, really looking forward to it. I will experience what it's like to be rich (for two days) lol. haha @toxic. Yes, I don't think the casino does those lolol!

A fun weekend in store!

An experience is as good as a rest! Well done. I'm envious! ;)

Enjoy! Sounds fun :)

Have a great time and drink lots of champas!

Well done, good prize and enjoy

Thats gold.....enjoy you will..

Thanks all! Had an AWESOME weekend, and we were both rather amused that we were actually doing all this flash stuff .... for free! lol. To top the weekend off, as we were filling in an hour at Crown, waiting for our driver to arrive to take us home, I put $5 in a pokie machine and won back all the money we'd spent on food, drinks and shopping, ($500) so it really WAS a free weekend lol.

The best!

Excellent stuff!!

Onya Bops! Nice one!

Good one. A nice gesture.

Nice wins :)

Congratulations!!

Nice of you to bless your friend like that :)

congrats!

Thanks all and Happy Comping

Thats a great gesture. Congrats

Great! Have never won either.

:)

I didn't enter that as you had to be a travel agent, lucky person who did win it though.
I've just sent them a message though😄

Thanks a million :) I am an agent and they said a winner would be announced through the "normal channels" so I have been keeping an eye on all the newsletters, their website and FB and nothing.

Cool, it was definitely a great comp, I'll let you know when I get a reply

Finally got a reply, winner from italk travel

First of all congrats on the win - second of all what was the website so I know to enter lol
I do the same thing, if I have won something from someone I don't normally enter off them again as I think that I wont have very good chances of winning a second prize from the same company (although I have never won anything major.....yet lol)

Yeah, I entered a comp the other day from a site I'd won some tickets from then I thought why did I just do that? I think it's really hard to win twice in a short time. Would be interesting to see if anyone has though! :)

I won a Samsung phone from a company once and then the next comp they ran was to win a MacBook!
I still entered and had one of the best entries (in my own opinion!) that I've ever come up with and answered the question really well and creatively but I didn't win. They took longer than normal to announce the winner so I told myself they were probably arguing between themselves whether it's acceptable to award a prize to me again 😁
Though I'm sure someone else just had a much better entry lol. I'm actually not that full of myself!
More recently I won the Slideliner tickets to the Bledisloe which was the major prize but now I'm not likely to win the minor prize of the $6999 TV!
Which seems like a pretty major prize to me

And 'I hate it when' the terms and conditions say the winner will be announced on their page on a certain date and then that date comes and goes. Put me out of my misery already! Even if I haven't won I still want to know the judging has been done and a winner chosen

I hate it when I get an email that has 'Congratulations' in the description and my heart skips a beat, but then goes on..."to the winner of our competition. Go to ........to see if it is you". If it was me, the email would have said "Congratulations you have won".

I hate it when family holiday prizes can't be taken in school holidays. Not much good then is it.

I hate it when the WOL question is "What do you like about (CD, Book, Movie, DVD)?". I haven't seen it. That's why I want to win it.

Haha. I agree with all of the above. I recently won 2 (minor) prizes from the same company on Facebook. Both were 25WOL but the comps were running concurrently so I didn't know I had won the first one when I entered the second.

Well done Brooksta. Sometimes I prefer the minor prizes to the major prize.

I've won two prizes from the same site within weeks of each other. Who cares if you've won before? The prize goes to the best entry, not the second-best. The idea of 'fairness' is not part of the Terms and Conditions, so it shouldn't enter your mind (unless you like to give the even better prizes to someone else, lol).

Hahahahaha @ these answers! Wow! I completely agree with them all! @Jrob71 - just this morning, I had an email with 'Congratulations' as the subject. I thought here we go again .... more misleading junk mail ..... and I HAD won an outdoor BBQ light! lol divergent, I guess that makes sense. I might have a crack anyway then :-)

Nobody ever told Roger Federer "You can't enter that tournament, you won it last time".

I've though of another...
I hate it when the advertising says "just enter you details/sign up for your chance to win:, then when you've given them the info they say "Step 2. Now share, answer, vote, do a backflip...). When I can't comply I'm then stuck with an unwanted newsletter subscription and no chance of winning.

It just happened. I filled out my details signing up to the newsletter. Then a survey. Then was told I had to share with a friend to complete entry (and by the way, you are not entered unless they also sign up). Think I'll start reading Ts and Cs.

I hate those too Jrob71. Requires too much effort and annoying other people!

@Jrob71 Yessssssssssss I HATE those too! 'Simple one step entry', so you fill it in, and then there's 465 'would you like to be contacted by .....' questions. I just close the screen and tell them out loud to shove it lol and yes I'm picky with what I enter that requires sharing. I don't want to become one of 'those, that bombards everyone else on my Facebook and email with things I want to win

Me either....lol

If you do, just remember sharing can be a good thing! :) lol

@fourleaf.... or is it the THOUGHT that counts..? Lol.. hmmm

Well you couldn't keep all 60 mill surely!

Interesting thought though. . . What would you do if you won 60 million? I'd quit work, travel the world and spend MONTHS in each country and set up funds to help the homeless and help save the environment, every bit counts, oh and help family of course!

@toxicgherkin, couldn't agree with you more on that one!

Dont forget me bunna! :-)

Yep wouldn't it be nice : )

Thankyou :)

Thanks for more inspiration!

Cheers @LuckyNicky.

@fourleaf - No problem! Hope you enjoy.

I love the surprise ones. Congrats!

Congratulations :)

Congrats :)

That's good

Great prize!!

Excellent prize, love winning the prizes that are practical but also save you a fortune

Nice prize, well done :)

Cool. Im Trev. Look forward to your blog :)

Lol funny that you mention this. Every time I win something half decent, people always say 'what did you write?' to which I answer 'no idea'. I've been saying for months that I'll start keeping all my answers, but then I copy and paste about 3 and I'm over it lol. I really just type whatever comes into my head at the time, and ALL of my biggest wins in the 12 months I've been doing this (2 x $2000 cash, $500 cash, years supply of chocolate, 5 star weekend away, computer etc etc) have all been 25 WOL, so I focus on those more than anything now. I've had (what I think are) good answers win AND lose, and I've had very ordinary ones win, so you really just never know

Cool, looking forward to it! :)

Welcome aboard, LuckyNicky. May I say what an inspirational first blog it is too. I'm in the midst of my proactive digital Spring Clean as well. Good for the soul!

Welcome and thank you for the sound advice. I don't usually keep my WOL answers but should so I will from now on :)

Thanks so much everyone!

@roobycat - Wow the force is strong with you! I know what you mean at the end of the day it is just luck. You just never know how the judges are going to judge. It's good to keep your WOL because down the track you may wish you had of.

@toxicgherkin Thanks so much!

@LuckyNicky I already DO wish I'd kept them, moreso, so I know what wins and what doesn't lol. Oh well, ONE day I will lol

Hi @luckyNicky looking forward to reading your posts! Thanks

Good for you, great win!

Congrats! Great win :)

Thanks guys! Yes I'm stoked. Such a surprise! I've had random small prizes turn up un-announced, but never anything like this! It's a fancy schmancy one with thermostat and timer etc. Very happy indeed :-)

Well done!

Thanks fourleaf. Got it fired up now, and it's perfect :-)

How exciting! Bet you're on that winning high right now :)

Awesome. Surprises are the best. Congratulations :)

I sure am Brooksta! A WARM one lol. Thanks Trevsta. Yes they are. I stood looking at the box for ages wondering what it could be, and then I thought ummm, how about I just open it, and then I'll know??? What's with that! lol DUH!

Nice surprise!

Thank goodness it wasn't the 'Sharknado' brand! Congratulations there, roobycat.

ha

Thanks all. lol @toxic. I can't believe I watched that. Now I need to find a competition giving away free HOURS, because I wasted 2 of mine, on that crap! haha

Great surprise win! Congrats

Yay - excellent prize congrats

Hi Christine. I'm going to say that whether you spend $20 or $200, if it's all on one receipt, then that is only one entry. Someone else may have a different idea, but that's how I read it :-)

I think it means one entry per receipt too.

Thank you Roobycat and Purpleone. I thought so too, just wanted to check.

Alaila is helping us out on the forum, we'll try and run fun little comps on here for you guys every week:)

lets have some fun :D

"Wow I think I must be getting sick ... my back just got really warm and sweaty all of a sudden ...."

"whoops... surely dad wont notice"

I told Dad I wasn't ready for "trainer pants" yet!

*sings* {Frozen movie}
"Let it flow, let it flow
I can't hold it back anymore
Let it flow, let it flow
A raincoat dad you should have wore.."

"WHAT GOES UP......MUST COME DOWN!!!!"

Wee, wee, wee. All the way..... oh, my!

@Zedmin I'm in! This will be fun. Thanks for injecting some levity into the Forum! Cheers!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

oops...I did it again...

Now that's a relief.

Daddy forgot to put my nappy on me again.

Daddy forgot to put my nappy on me again.

"Oops. I've had a wee little accident, Daddy."
"Urine trouble now!"

Normally daddy gets too hot and only piggybacks me for a short time. Today he said he felt refreshed and carried me for ages.

Ah, that feels better! Now for some more ice-cream.

You should have listened to Mummy when she told you I was Lactose Intolerant.

Bubs liked to decorate her horsey with an ice-cream hair-do and a wee-wee mane. Now for the cone horn to turn him into a pretty unicorn...

Here's the deal Dad!.......Buy me an ice cream and I'll cover up the fact you have a perspiration problem and a hairy back to a T!...no sweat!

When I said she's my wee little one, I didn't exactly mean this!

Carrying a toddler is really sweaty work!

WHOOPS!

This is not where you have your potty training, little one.

"To pee, or not to pee, that is the question ... oops, never mind"

"That should help Daddy keep cool!"

"Tinkle tinkle little star".

"Daddy always said 'Whereever you may be, let your wee flow free!' Okay, I may have ad libbed a bit. :)"

so relaxing up here

Wee are in this together dad

Dad......that lion was sooo friendly!.......can we keep him?

It's alright dad.. I've got your back!
