3 questions black sabbath.where do yiou find all these postal comps to enter?
15 postal comps per day is approx .£23 per week in stamps.thats approx £1200 per year...is it worth it...? by telling other people about competitions{which we all appreciate}you cut your odds of winning as more people will enter.?0 -
Before starting on-line comps, I used to spend about £3.00 a week on stamps for comps.
I justify this because, I don't smoke, I don't go out drinking (just a bottle of wine at home sometimes) and its my hobby, just like some people like to play golf (and pay the fees, and buy the equipment) or drive expensive cars etc.:j0 -

I totally agree, I am very new to this but it is very nice to win, but it is also exciting opening the post just incase you have won. I also look upon it as a hobby and have only won one decent thing, but I will keep trying as I enjoy hoping that I will win one day something very big.0 -
Yeh, between the freebies you learn about on here, and send for, and the chance I may have won a comp, I always look forward to to the postie arriving.
Yesterday I went to work before the post arrived, when I got home I'd won The Jordan Workout DVD, this was from a local newspaper comp.
It might be fun trying to increase the size of my bust, whilst wearing high heals!!!!
Actually I have a friend desperately trying to loose weight, so I'll probably give it to her.:j0 -
Still no joy, entering every competition I can find, picking up every leaflet going, i'm sure i can spot a comp from 100 yards. I think i must just be really really unlucky but will keep trying.May 2015 £10 a day currently £2080

Don't give up Batgirl. I'm still reeling from my first win ever (trip to San Fran). There's nothing like the feeling. It took a couple of month's concentrated effort at on-line competitions. Do you use a form filler?0

Yep use a form filler and trying to stay motivated but seem to be entering less and less comps by the day. Cograts on you win, at least it proves someon wins on online comps.

I've entered a few competitions but the only ones i win are slogans or tiebreakers, i wrote a peom once and won an X Box. So i only enter them now as what's the point in those comps that have thousands of entries. I just don't have the patients.
I've also won little things like a CD or Dvd, nothing exciting yet. But i have entered a few good slogan ones recently and hoping i win something out of them.

A form filler is a little program that you fill your details in and then when you need to fill in your details on a webpage you click a button. Rather than typing saves on the old wrists.
I have a feeling that Internet Explorer has one. But what ever you chose don't choose gator.
