Snizl Q
For anyone that has won a Snizl comp... Were you emailed separately to inform you of a win? I get a 'see if you've won' email when each comp ends, but I would rather not have to click each one if I know for sure I'd be emailed separately if I am a winner.
Just read on the news that WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have all gone down
(Not that I use any of them for comping but thought it might affect some compers:) https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/facebook-down-instagram-whatsapp-today-b1932059.html
National lottery - yay or nay?
Hello peeps, I reactivated my online National Lottery account about four weeks ago. What do people think about the lottery, is it worth my money? During the past four weeks I've won £2.60 - although I'm not a big spender. Around £10 every two weeks is my limit! There are just too many games to enter - how to choose the…
Take A Break/Chat
I haven't seen this weeks puzzles. Have I missed them or haven't they been put up yet? Sorry to mention it if the usual poster hasn't had time yet. I don't want to be pushy just didn't want to miss them if they are there.

I'm not crazy, promise

Green Entered
Has anyone else's Entered sign on the main page stopped turning green or is it a glitch on my PC since the Windows 11 update? It turns green on the actual post with the Compliment icon as usual. Thanks :)
Unexpected Wins / Deliveries
Morning everyone I'm recently back into comping after 5 or 6 years away! I just wondered if people still get unexpected wins in the post? I remember my first ever win was an X Box and it just turned up, no prior WEM or WTC and no notification either with the prize as to where it had come from! Back then I did get a few…
Mag dailies have driven me to drink

Instagram issues

Links to comps not showing up
Anyone else noticed that when they go into a comp, the link that the poster provided is not there, just a blank space? Not every comp, but a few, and it seems to be only the Twitter ones. Cheers :)
Best Competition Win Story
Just wondering if anyone has any nice stories about competitions they have won where the company has gone above and beyond to make the win memorable? We won a holiday to Australia and as my wife was in the early stages of pregnancy after trying for so long we decided it wasn't advisable to go, my mother in law was turning…
