    WOW!! Between PrincessPixiedust, Korky and cte111 we seem to have most weeklies covered, and quite a few monthlies too!!

    I think it would be helpful to agree who posts what, and if someone is on hols for a weekly mag then let us know and someone else can volunteer to post on here.

    I think this thread is fab and I have won a couple of fab prizes from postals so always keep up with the thread.
    I quite often buy Now, Look and occasionally Heat and they have the odd comp, so if no-one else buys these regularly I will consider these being on my regular shopping list - at least this way I can justtify it to myself!!

    I also keep an eye on the magazine offers thread, and the Puzzlers thread and it was those that gave me the idea of having some sort of way of tracking who post what and any we don't have anyone volunteered for.

    Lets try and get as many comps as we can!! :)

    is it worth making a list of who posts what so we dont get confused etc what mags etc, and what other mags have comps that are postal etc that aren't done on here yet

    does anyone get real homes, i know they often have comps, but cant recall if they are online or postal?
    I get Real Homes, their comps are usually email or postal. Although come to think of it I haven't posted any for a while. I will double-check recent issues to see if there were any comps that I've not posted.

    Edit - just realised I've not had Real Homes since last year, my subscription must have expired. I'll have a look round for a cheap sub for this one, as I do read it usually.

    I also get House Beautiful, but someone usually beats me to it with their comps.

    i think we should decide who is doing what as i dont like it when it becomes a race:D takes the fun out of it, if anyone wants to do any mags i normally cover then just let me know as its no problem

    korky, what weeklies do you do, get confused with the ones you do, i know you do bella puzzles, any others you do?

    full house, thats life, tab, pmu etc be great if someone could post the giveaways each week if there are

    tab, chat etc specials get done by korky, do you want to do the giveaways for these also korky, ive done them before but if you want to do them also let me know

    thats great if you could do real homes cte:D

    dont how best to do a list, maybe pm me with the mags and i'll compile a list and sort it out between us so we can see who does what and i can pop that on the first post, best not take up too much of this thread as we will get lost with all the chat:rotfl:

    cte1111 gets real homes....
    "I get Real Homes, their comps are usually email or postal. Although come to think of it I haven't posted any for a while. I will double-check recent issues to see if there were any comps that I've not posted."

    way i see it with the " who posts which" comps is that sometimes if a poster usually does that mag/comp & for some reason ie: postal delay/ holidays/not well or whatever, you can end up waiting for the person to post & some of the postcard comps have only a weeks deadline & unless the reg poster has been on site to explain it could be a bit short notice for entry :eek: iyswim, must admit i have noticed a lot of the text/phone comps don't seem to have the magazine name in the subject so it makes it harder to check if that comps been posted or not, i've started putting the name in now,

    ie: c/d- win a whatever - magazine name

    ws going to put some somerfield p/card comps on last night that a friend had sent me , couldn't find them on the search in here for ages only by scrolling back did i find them :eek:

    I've pm'd PP to say Im happy to do cosmo and a few others. I'm on the forum every day, so will be able to post the day I get the mags. I think putting the mag name in the post title is a really good idea :money:
