    This is a good idea, the other post was far too long.
    Divadee, do you think it would be a good idea to clear off some of the Postal comps, as some of them go back to 2005/6

    Hello Compers :hello:

    Can I ask if people send thank-you notes to the companies if they are lucky enough to have won a prize from them. I have sent one to the company that I won a Travel Cot from because It seems like a small run operation, but unsure if I should send one out to Heinz or Virgin Radio???

    Thanks peeps.

    Mmmm I don't. If I have to send my address by email I thank them, and if they ring me I thank them too. Quite often they just send the prize out and I have to guess who it is from :D

    Can be nearly as much fun ( or frustration ) as entering the actual comps - guessing who its from when it comes with no info, I still dont know where I won some books from :confused:

    Humour me, I really need to get out more :rotfl: - Ive finally caught up with all the comps to date, so Im off to find some to post
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T

    Hiya :hello:
    Are any of you registered on loquax? The reason I ask is because i've been registered on there for about a year now but I just can't get onto the site anymore :confused:
    I've tried so many ways but each time it says the page cannot be displayed. Is it just me or does anyone know if theres a problem with the site???
    Its a pain cos theres some good comps on there that can be shared around!!! ;) :rotfl:

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    Yep I use this quite regularly and have done for a while, I have just tried to get on it and everything seems to be working accordingly. Is there a specific part of the site that I may not have tried, that isn't working for you?
