    Anybody got a system for doing the competitions?

    All I seem to do daily is go back a few pages to the first posts of the day, then work my way forward, is that the way to do it? Any tips?

    I do as well, but I sort by thread start time first (bottom of page) so I know they are all newly listed since I was on last, then I just skip the ones like tickets and under 18 or under 16 etc. :D

    One thing I have learnt is just to get ahead with the last day of the month comps - for example the 31st of May is stonking! - pages of it! :rotfl: hth xxx

    think if you don't log out the next person entering will still get you logged in ITMS :D

    I do them all, but I spend all my free time doing it. I don't think that will last much longer, I don't have the will, haha. It was sooo exciting at first but it's getting a bit soul destroying :eek: My poor OH hasn't seen me for a fortnight :rotfl:

    Maybe if I get a decent win that will all change :rolleyes:!!

    I am a Mum by day and a comper by night, my firends say am like an old, mad American ladythat has loadsa cats!! 27 and would rather do this than get drunk :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks KtK xx

    I know when I first started I got so fraught if I didn't have time to enter every comp with a prize that I would have liked, now I have come to accept that if I miss a few life goes on. If there is a day when I have more time I will search by end date and pick up a few that I've missed along the way, but like Korky, I just can't cope with the regular thread as well. I have a few dailies that I try to do every day, but weeklies and monthlies, unless they get posted first on the main board, I just don't do.
