Does anyone ever feel a big win brewing. For the last few days I haven't been able to shake the feeling that there is a big win around the corner... Weird aren't I

Its probably just a big fart brewing :rotfl:

I live with students who nick all my stuff so if I ever win the Brothers pear cider, I know I'll never see my beloved prize.

I have a question, how long do you keep sent emails for comps you have entered?

I keep the last 2 months worth, so at the moment I have August-September but tomorrow I will delete the contents of the August folder & rename it October HTH

I don't keep sent emails - I used to, but when my comp died and I got the lappy it was set up differently so doesn't keep a sent list (need to figure out how to)

I do keep wem's (in a seperate folder - i have wem's in there from 2001 )
and a detailed list of prizes won & whether I received them - then I can follow up if no prize appears.

go to where it says 'User CP', just below where it says welcome and your username and when you last visited etc

then click edit signiture

then put in that box what you want as your signiture

then click ok or save or whatever it says:D
