    They do it every year - they're part of a big catalogue company - JD Williams, so the comp runs across the whole group. Iirc I think they credit score you and sign you up for an account if you enter :)

    Oh cool, safe to post then? Cheers, Cheeky!

    Well, only if you put a big warning about the credit check - I wouldn't post it personally :confused: Also you'll have to try a few different searches to make sure it's not on already under one of the other catalogue names :)

    Eek, I went back and added the credit check warning. Not mentioned in the comp T&Cs, so probably hidden in the account sign up. I searched "simplybe" and "000" (from £30,000) and couldn't see it posted.

    Thanks!

    I just do weeklies once a week & monthlies I work my way through if I get time. A lot of monthlies are also posted on the main board too so you need to be careful not to duplicate entries & disqualify yourself
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    Hi Lisa

    Best place for this sort of query would be the chatty threads at the top of the board. You'd get more info.

    The only help I can offer is to do more. To win comps you need lots of luck and perseverance. The normal comper on the board enters hundreds, if not thousands, each week. It still takes luck to be one of the winners even so.

    Best of luck for the future.
