    Use the thanks button as you enter each comp, it dissappears then you know next time that you have already entered.

    Velvetgloves comping guide is excellent for tips!!

    Good Luck xx

    They have probably already been posted.Have you searched?
    Also can you edit your title if they haven't so it looks like ther others posted on here not just local comps:)

    Thanks

    Hi, you could try it with -friends or - anything else irrelevant that comes up. Once you have it narrowed down, save it on google alerts, then you'll get an email if anything comes up and you don't have to keep searching - also if you keep getting emails with the same person on, you could add another - with their book title/school or whatever else comes up with their name :)

  • Following on from the various discussions on the itv thread, I think that Korkys idea of a TV COMP thread where all the comps are under one thread is excellent!! We have a Puzzler and a Take a Break thread and i think that the TV comps would be better all under one roof so too speak ?? Anyone agree?????

    Just to let you all know that I'll [STRIKE]most likely[/STRIKE] pretty much definitely :eek: have to stop posting compos in a couple of weeks or less so if you spot any compos that I normally post but they haven't been posted, get them on here :D

    Or if anyone is feeling majorly enthusiastic and keeps a comp site list, let me know & I'll send you the list of comp sites which I normally post :D

    hi, it was originally catowens idea, i just kind of thought if it was like the postcard/text, tabs, puzzlers with a 1st page hopefully it would be easier for everyone to follow through & for new people to find it easier to save all the dupes & stuff that's been happening lately,
    so i'm bound to agree icon7.gif

    hi catz, how long have you got to go now baby-girl-baby-boy.gif
