Hi, I believe that they just discount all your entries after the fifth one rather than invalidate all of them?

I think anyway, I dont know if anyone with a bit more knowledge knows it any different?

I agree that all entries after number 5 are not entered, but does not invalidate the previous entries, I always enter until it says i have reached the limit and won £1900 back in march.

I always enter until it tells me I'm at the limit and I had a Real Deal win in September

i always open the link 5 times then I know when I shut the last window I have entered 5 times:D

Does anyone else think it is a good idea to get people to put in Brackets in the post title the number of people a Holiday comp is for? This would let people know instantly if it is worth then entering. Never used to be a problem until we stopped copying the comp text into the OP.

Thank you for the replies, I think I shall carry on as I have been.

Today's gripes

People who just post a comp is finished or a duplicate and don't PM a board guide. They aren't omnipresent you know

just wanted to quote ya in case the post disappears. Completely agree with all your gripes, looking forward to see what tomorrows is:D

Am I allowed to have a 'Todays Gripe' please

• People that obviously don't enjoy comping & moan that they aren't winning what they want & moan that theres too many comps to enter & moan that they're so unlucky even though they've had a couple of nice big wins & moan that they can't be bothered & basically just moan moan moan!

What happened to comping being a fun hobby & actually being happy with what you recieve no matter how big or small it may be :A

Can I have a moan too please? (loving this btw!)
People who enter comps specifically for children (children sites that ask for a child to enter) then say they don't have kids but enter for themselves. You should enter a real child, albeit a relative (DD, DS or nephew etc..) or a friend you plan to give the prize to.

end of moan!
Have to have a good moan sometimes! Keep it going!

ETA: can I add another moan please?
People who add an answer after it's already been added! (a few minutes over-lap is acceptable as refreshing the page while looking for an answer isn't always possible), I'm talking about an hour or more after it's been added! arggghhh!

Question for you all please - how many competitions do you enter a week/month? I've seen some fantastic wins, congrats! I'm trying to enter as many as i can from the competitions forum, and have been doing for the last month. Nothing so far, and i'm not toooo suprised - am i on the right track for an eventual win?

thanks all!

Hi drucey!
Yep, I enter as many as possible. Ones I can use (not tickets, holidays where I can't make the dates). Hundreds a week I should think!
If you don't enter you can't win!
