    Morning folks - just a quickie: Haven't read back yet from last night but we are due out to visit mum as my washing machine has broken & the engineer this morning couldn't fix it! So need to go do washing & also the smelly stuff that has been stuck inside the machine for 2 days!

    Just had a pm about this thread & oh it made me so angry - what a rude, sarcastic bloke! I didn't enter but is it wrong of me to be so mad that I hope someone that entered (before being discarded!) does inform Edwin about it? :o

    .... and breathe! :rotfl: OK will be back later on this afternoon/tonight & will read back then!
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
  • Just read it VG, that's disgusting & like you said they can't just take entries out !!!!!!!!!!

    It's sooooo cold!!! I just got back from town... got 3 parcels from post office, 1 was tickets for universal in florida, 1 was shampoo to test for cosmo (herbal essences new sort), and 1 was another load of books from the goodtoknow prize I won back in november (have received that 1 twice now!!!). So no lush yet... ordered 1 last Sat and 1 mid week, hope they come soon!

    Here for parcels... could do with catching up with some of you guys on the winning side of things!!! :):):):)
    Life is all about the journey.

    I've been comping for a few months, and won some lovely prizes (books and cds mainly), but still waiting for that big win!

    Are there any ways that I can fine tune my comping?

    I usually spend a couple of hours each evening comping, which corresponds to about 150 - 200 comps per day. I never enter any comps for tickets, unless I really want to go, nor for prizes that I don't want or bands that I've never heard of - which is most of them!!

    I use the "comp ending" method rather than as they're posted, which means that as I work my way through I miss out on those comps posted after I've done that days. Alternatively if I was to just work my way through the list, I would miss out on those that expire before I get to them. Clearly the best method is a combination, but would take too long. Any suggestions?

    I've never entered any of the regular comps but I guess that the chances of winning these are actually higher than the main comps due to the numbers entering, so may start looking at the weekly or monthly ones. Do those people that enter these find that to be the case?
