Heart FM / Are you on O2?
Bit of a long shot, but was listening to Heart on the radio on the way into work and they kept trying to call someone who had won £2000 but it kept going to an O2 answer phone. So if you're on O2 and your phones switched off / out of battery, turn it on and check your voicemail!
Do comping sites put you off? Ones that need sharing etc

Comments on Heart/Capital £100 comps
Why do people put comments on Heart/Capital/Smooth competition websites like 'amazing prize' and 'brill prize' etc , when honestly, £100, is it really that amazing. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't say no but I wouldn't do a back flip either.
Facebook unable to like :(
So my facebook account got blocked today and I had to prove my ID. Now when ever I try to like a page I get this message: 'Your attempt to become a fan was not successful. Please try again.' I've read that this may be because I've liked too many pages and maybe temp. Has anyone else had this and if so how long did it last?…
RE everyone being blocked from liking and sharing on FB
Sorry to stick the knife in, but my account is fine so far, but I am wondering why. I do play a few games on my comping FB account but 90% of my activity is L&S comps. I very rarely update my status (probably 3 times a year). I have 356 friends (none of whom I know or have met lol) I "like" 956 pages. A fellow comper…

Facebook Problems?
Anyone else having Facebook problems. Haven't been on it all day as computer broke and was busy fixing it - managed to get on and have received an email from FB telling me I'm not real and my account is blocked. Aside from the fact I am very real I also run 4 work pages via my account (which now I can't do so the boss is…

Finding comps on FB and TW
Hi all, i'm new around here, I enter the comps on here that dont have FB or TW on them. I am losing out i think, how do you find comps on FB and TW? Regards SV
And this is the reason I love comping...
I don't know if I should post it here but a little something I'd like to share with my fellow compers! Sometimes its not the biggest, most extravagant prizes that mean the most... Reece absolutely loves his wrestling and with his birthday on Sunday, we tried to get tickets to see the WWE live tour but unfortunately we…
