    Run now while you still have the chance - it only takes one small win, and you'll be hooked.
    Your friends and family will never see you, your house will be neglected, your postman will start to think you are stalking him...........or is that just me? :rotfl:

    Hi Maria,

    I'm new too! I'm getting strangely addicted, ie checking for winning emails rather than emails from friends!

    Lots of luck to everyone

    I am festering!....gotta get into gear soon.

    But back to the subject!...local comps are always a good bet too......as fewer entries!

    Welcome - this site is so friendly and helpful you'll have great fun.

    I too have a festering pit of doom:D . Yep you guessed it 'I am a comp addict' - do they do meetings for this or am I beyond hope.

    Keep at it and the wins will soon be rolling in, and the post office staff on your route will soon be doing a coin toss to see which one doesn't have to deliver to the stalker:rotfl: .
