    Hi
    I am new to this site and realize I am totally thick as cannot fathom out how to use it! Dont even know if I have put this post in the right area!
    Is there an area just for text comps and or postcard comps? If so how do I get to it? Also are comps in date closing order at all?
    I have read some instructions but cant fathom them out so if anyone is kind enough to reply can you make it very simple - obviously I am a right dummy!

    The next test will be for me to find out if and where anyone has replied!


    Hi
    This is the thread for postal comps: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1290635 (its a sticky at the top of the main comps board)
    The comps are listed as they are put on, not by closing date but you can sort the thread by start time. Someone else will have to explain that though as I don't do it that way! Its pretty straight forward really. The best thing you can do is start at the end and work your way forward! :D

    EDIT: Also, install roboform if you don't already have it - it will make entering 100 times easier!

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    I wonder how she got to have so many wins. I wonder if she spammed them with stacks of entries. Even so, its a remarkable number of wins. I do hundreds and hundreds of legitimate entries on here and it doesn't amount to much in the way of wins :(

    Hi,

    This has probably already been asked but for the ITV comps where it says 5 entries per household do you need to put a different name each time?

    Thanks in advance!

    Can someone please explain this crossword to me? Thanks.

    (It's in a local magazine to win a meal locally ;) )

    AA-ZZ prize crossword

    Fill in the grid with the correct answers, it should contain at least two of every letter.

    So, I think it means it must contain at least two of every letter :confused:

    Then I see Alien spaceship (3)
    I think the answer is UFO but UFO does NOT contain two of every letter. It is not UUFFOO but UFO :confused:

    Then I see Barrel of beer (3) and I think it is KEG but keg does not contain two of every letter :confused:

    Then I see TV sci-fi show with ghosts and aliens (1-5) and I think it is X-files but X-files does not contain ............... you get my drift.

    Can someone kindly explain the crossword please? Thank you.
