End of month comps
I'm still working my way through today's! I bet I won't finish and I like to be 2 days ahead so best get on with tomorrows soon. :) Anyway, how many 31st comps do you think are listed here? Is there a way to count them? The reason I'm asking is I had a message from a paid site trying to get me to join (as if!). They say…
Marie Claire comps
I notice that some Marie Claire competitions don't have questions at the end, just a 'go for it' button, and then it says 'you have entered the competition to win xxxxx successfully'. Nothing about being able to enter every day. Does that mean I should enter only once?
Does Entering a Competition Twice Deter Your Chances?
I accidentally entered a couple of Take a Break comps that i forgot i already entered a week ago or so. It didn't tell me i've already entered, but just wondering if this would get me disqualified?
The other inbox in Facebook
Apologies if this has been discussed before but a friend of mine really wanted to go to a festival last weekend (Secret Garden Party) but he couldn't afford a ticket. Yesterday he discovered that there is another inbox on Facebook and there was a message saying he had won tickets to the festival but it was, obviously, too…

Magazine 'thread' competitions
I will admit, i was not a fan of this when it was started (im obviously still not a fan) but ive just done a little bit of research, and can only conclude that it is a very unfair way of posting competitions for the majority of compers. Im afraid i dont know how to post individual posts, but this is an example of what i…
Covering for Alison18
With Alison18's current problems we have arranged that whenever Alison18 can't get around to posting, Pick Me Up magazine will be covered by fire**fly or myself, and that Inside Soap magazine will be covered by Barnabysue. Posting may be a little later than you are used to. Hopefully this will mean Alison can concentrate…

Competitions Daily Update
I used to receive the daily update but stopped receiving it after the downtime over the weekend. I checked out my subscription settings and it still said I was subscribed. In my wisdom I thought I would cancel and re-subscribe (reboot!) I cancelled okay but I cannot remember how to re-subscribe and cannot see any help…
Prizes "worth" a certain amount
Just wondering what people thought about what promoters say a prize is worth, and what you actually think it's worth. I'll explain myself better.... today I received a prize that was stated in the comp to be worth over £80. It was a picnic hamper that was described as being kitted out for six people including a selection…

We have done some serious saving but need that extra bit therefore I am currently comping for homely bits to keep back for our house and anything that will help me get money for our deposit! Any of you guys have any tips to…
Dorset Cereal
Just curious - I do spin the bottle and the little quiz thing every day to earn points for the monthly draw, but today I found the games, where you can win an additional point for each one you play. Do people play these every day too?! I have 113 points for this months draw - just wondering how this compares to what other…
Comping on a tablet
I think there has been a thread like this before but I can't get search to work so apologies if I'm duplicating owt. When comping on a tablet I can't get FB links to work. They just go to 'page cannot be displayed' every time. What am I doing wrong?
