Me too! Never been able to post at the beginning of a thread before!
Just want to say thank you to everyone who posts on here. The advice, the support, it's all very welcome.
I'm a newbie comper but whenever I feel I'm not getting very far I just have a browse through the posts and feel so much better. 2 wins so far since starting mid August. Shrek DVD and Tefal Actifry(makes chips with just a tablespoon of oil!). Some days do loads, other days nothing. But with the encouragement of all those who do post on here hopefully I will go on and win the big one! Could do with a new car. Mine's 10 years old in January but still going well!0 -

Mmm I haven't won from any of them but I do enter them all

Fortean times and bizarre are the same but different, I enter both of those too.
I don't enter the newspaper same ones though, like metro & the other same ones.0 -
I wonder if my address effects my chances of winning on these comps, (its a very welsh address)
So im going to convince my OH to start entering with her address while I enter with my Parents address.
