    Totally random question here but how do you tell someone nicely that they are taking advantage of your kind nature but you don't want to upset them because you fear that they could be slightly unhinged!!!!

    :cool:

    :rotfl: That is the best thing I have heard in a while. I know I shouldn't laugh but what a predicament!!

    Right, you need to be firm, unhinged or not, doesn't matter! You need to make sure you tell it how it is, it's not nice being taken advantage of at all!!

    You really deserve a month like this munchkim!! What's your secret :rotfl: are you sending your amazing/lovely pics with every entry ;) Seriously, well done to you!!

    Thanks :o

    My secrets:

    1) Set yourself up with 2 folders, 1 in email and 1 real leaver arch type, keep all WEM's and comps slips and everything that tells you you're a winner, these all help when you're feeling down.

    2) Get into a routine, set aside whatever time you can for comping and attack in the easiest way for you, I find it easiest to enter them as they get posted but it took me a whole week on 2 hours a night sleep to get up to date with them but it was so worth it for me.

    3) Any time anyone annoys you, attack the regulars board and bookmark any you want to enter in bookmark folders for daily/weekly/monthly ones then just remember to enter them when you need to. (helps calm you down as there's so much to read over there and you need to concentrate on the T&C's)

    Other than that, be nice to as many people as possible, they don't have to post the comps up for us really do they :)

    Up at the top of your browser you should have a grey bit with the headings File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools and Help, click bookmark and you get options to bookmark the page, I have mine organised into folders for what each link is and I sort them to where I want them (there'll be a clicky on the menu to organise them)

    :) Munchkim Thank yoou xx Just wondered how you do them as they're posted, do you need to do them and do the ones ending soon too? You would have to if you didnt want to miss any wouldn't you? Then eventually they will meet, is that right?? xx

    the first time you do it if you don't want to miss any you literrally have to start at the very last page and work your way forward through every single comp that has been posted. After that you just start on page 1 and work your way forward until you reach the point where you last stopped.
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96
