Just a theory...
Normally the end of November/December is when I'm wrapping down comping. With 3 young girls with various school fairs, dance shows and Christmas parties and a husband at sea I just do not have enough time. But it occurred to me that if that's what I do (as a semi normal mum, with a no more hectic lifestyle than the average…
remove please
Sorry posted in the wrong place
Daily mags - can't play ads
As if I actually want to watch them, LOL. But you have to play them in order to enter the comps; as many of you know, they switched from print ads to videos a few days ago. I have the comps I want to enter bookmarked in Chrome. Normally I have Ad Blocker running, but even when I disable it for a site, the ads still won't…

Thank you.
Call from Bon Accord Life?? bizarre-anyone else?
Just had a call from Bon Accord Life confirming my entry to the Hoverboard competition, on Facebook, asking if the phone number was correct & telling me to keep an eye on the Facebook page for updates Never had anything like this? Thought it was marketing call at first, but she didn't ask any questions? Did anyone else get…

Long Haul hols for 3 days
I was just reading the holiday wins thread. I'm put of entering anything like USA when it's a 3 day trip as I think it must be knackering ? I've seen some for 4 days in Austrailia , that must be a killer.
OMG Black Friday - I'm a comper get me outta here!
I remember last year having literally hundreds! Then a few days later the Advents start yippee!
Sweet Treats comp query
Has anyone else found the competition has vanished for them? I can see that it's ongoing from other posts, but there's nothing on site for me - no banner, no birds. I have adblock disabled so that shouldn't be it. Anything I can do?
Facebook Competitions
I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before (I've had a long break from comping) but are these gushing posts or sob stories really needed to win competitions on facebook? I've read the twitter thread with interest and have decided to give twitter comps a miss from now on. Has anybody on here won a facebook comp…
Babyworld website closing
Anyone else get the email from Babyworld? Shame, they had some really good comps on there :(
Last minute entry
I quite like to enter competitions last minute - has anybody won using this method? Am I more likely to win by entering at the beginning of a competition or is it just random or luck?

question about EE Christmas competition
question about EE Christmas competition, It doesn't state whether or not if it's free to enter? most comps usually state that they are free (or if not) We have had terrible problems with them the last few months and the last thing I want is anymore nasty surprises! - I sound a bit mad lol :o but am a bit worried to enter.…
Sticky or Sub Board
Just a thought does anyone think it might be better to have all specific comps in a sticky or sub board meaning all clothes comps in one and all electrical / gadgets in another etc instead of all mixed up and yes i know u can use the search but sometimes it doesnt work to well would appreciate your thoughts on this
Mag Dailies - Share & Gains
I enter the mag dailies all the time but tend to avoid the ones where it gives you the option to share for more entries. I have entered these before and tried to share via Twitter but a tweet would never appear although it would still tell me my bonus entries had been saved, so was never sure if it worked or not. Has…
