    well lol... thats a very good question!!!!

    As long as I can !!!!!

    I have a few mad days where I enter anything from 100-700 comps (these are what I call my "festering days") :D

    This way it leaves a good few days open to have a life:D

    Although I have been trying hard to win myself one of them for some months now!

    comping has become an obsessive compulsion! .... you have to quickly check your emils... you gotta log on to make sure you aren't missing ay instant win comps just posted.... reading the "I won" thread is the dogs danglies as it gives you the boost to keep going lol

    Sad - I know.... but I love comping, love the thrill of a winning email (no matter how big or small) and I love the postman every morning more than my OH :D

    I hate Sundays as no postie..... but by sunday I have pangs of guilt that I hadn't washed the floor.... cleaned he bath.... hoovered for a few days.... so go on a mad blitz:D then all back to comping again monday :D

    OH is a copper so works odd shifts, so I fit my comping (and sleeping) around when he is at work so he doesnt give me more of an earful.

    Also have a 7yr old savage to entertain, so on that note.... i'm off to Ella's to help prepare for her littleuns christnng tomorrow :D

    Now would you get all that done if the postie had delivered a brand spanking new Hoover from a comp win or a year's supply of cleaning products!? :rotfl:

    Well that's you completed the £2008 for 2008 in one fell swoop:rotfl: :rotfl: .

    Welcome to the site, I myself have only been comping since February this year and am totally addicted, family think I am nuts and postman avoids me like the plague:rotfl: .

    Congratulations on your mega win, and hope your lucky streak continues.:j

    I tend to tick the thanks button whether I have entered the comp or not, just a courtesy to the time taken by the poster.

    I also subscribe to each thread I have entered (or looked at and don't want to enter) that way it shows a blue tick on all the comps i have done in the main comps thread and saves time clicking to check if I have thanked it yet or not
    :D HTH

    Cheers Polo! I never thought of doing this! :D
