    If you are lucky enough to be in a couple, even if you're both on minimum wage, together it adds up to what I call "doing OK". It's hard-working singles this Govt have failed. :P Employers' attitude is "I can pay little because people get benefits topups", but singles don't, the bar is way too low for most on that score.

    Not too sure what you are saying, but Compers Inn is where is always is Stickied at the top of the first page:- http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1342451 :)

    Hi Stevie - looks like a lot of the top posters on the stats board there are compers. I guess we talk a lot :rolleyes:

    Unfortunately like most hobbies - comping is just that, there have been several previous discussions as to how much money you can make from comping - they true answer in not much (if you take into consideration time & effort!)

    Although admittedly there are some big prizes out there and it only takes one stroke of luck to be a big winner!

    Hey, StevieJ , i don't know what i've done to deserve all this attention from you & why you keep bringing everyone's attention to me, the leader board doesn't interest me at all, i enjoy coming on mse for the friendship , comping , information & help i get from reading the boards, even if i don't post on them all the time & if i've upset you in any way & you feel as though you have to keep 'following' me around, i apologise,
    & yes, you can win money from the comps & yes, i have on quite a few occasions, you should join in with us, perhaps you'll be lucky as well, i hope so.

    :rotfl: have you nothing better to do than read about top posters ? better to spend the time entering comps :D there's plenty of other posters on here that post every five mins, so doubt very much the stats are correct.
