    It is very time consuming!

    On average I enter about 20-30 a day when I'm working (I do comps in the morning before work) and up to 100 a day at the weekend. I only enter comps for things that I will use (vouchers, holidays, laptop etc) or would be able to use for presents at Christmas (DVDs, t-shirts etc) It takes a lot of effort but it has been worth it of late!



    You certainly don't do things by half do you?!! I wouldn't have the patience. Well done on your wins. You deserve it.

    PS Lovely !!!!! cat.

    Morning all!

    More comping goodies this morning - a new lip gloss from Avon from another competition in the forum. I could get used to this :rotfl:

    I was also able to redeem my points on Bingoport this morning thanks to the lovely Terri asking me for a referral so thanks :T This means I will get £5 cash into my Foxy bingo account sometime midweek. Wooyay!

    Not a lot else to report really, just faffing about on the internet before I get ready for another day of Festival goodness. I just wish it wasn't raining all the time :rotfl:

    Good luck missus!

    I have added my wins to my signature to try and keep me motivated. I did loads of comping towards the end of last year but didn't win enough to keep me motivated. This week should help :rotfl:

    I went through a phase of comping last year, I used to enter maybe 20 a day and then loads at the weekends - this went on for about 2 or 3 months and I didn't win a bean! How do you do it lol??
