Hey emily, glad to hear you're having a cheap weekend. Any tips on comping - I subscribed to Simply Prizes and entered everythinjg in it every month, and enter loads of online comps, but have never won anything apart from a Shakin' Stevens album.

I subscribe to http://www.compersnews.co.uk/ - it's a really good website with loads of tips and a monthly magazine with loads of comps in it. There's a forum too which people post loads of other competitions which you might not have found out about. I used to belong to Simply Prizes but I find Compers News much better.

I use http://www.theprizefinder.com/ to enter online comps. I enter them the day before they close so that I make sure I can enter them all. It also keeps track of the ones that you have entered.

For postcard comps, I use picture postcards which I buy online - I don't know if this makes a difference or not but I do tend to win quite a few prizes. Also for any entry form comps or any plain paper entries, I use coloured envelopes. I go into card shops and ask if they have any spare and 9 times out of 10 they do!! I know this is cheeky but it is free and the coloured envelopes stand out compared to all the white ones they receive.

I have never won anything from a slogan comp so I can't really give any tips on that front. The only other thing I can advise is that you need to enter anything and everything - as long as you keep the costs down . Keep an eye open for entry forms in the shops too.

Hope this helps - good luck!!

Hi Emily,

Could you please let me know what AQA is and how to get involved?

Hi Emily,

Could you please let me know what AQA is and how to get involved?

I do get quite a few queries about AQA so I hope it's ok to post the website here. Visit http://www.issuebits.com/ and click on the vacancies link. You can apply from there.

It is basically internet research done via your computer. You have to do a test to get in and then an induction period so it takes a bit of time to get started if you get accepted. They pay 30p per question answered.

Good luck!!

Just checked out AQA and you need a degree to be able to apply.

I don't have a degree and I managed to get in - the highest qualification I have got are A Levels and I stated this when I applied.

My advice is to go for it and see what happens.

Good luck!!

Well done. Emily can i just ask you a question about your CF, do you often go on IV's? (my girlfriend has CF too and poor girl she is on IV's at the moment) and i find it really hard to cheer her up what advice can you give me and what cheers you up when you are on IV's?
