    As Korkykat said I've also won loads and all thanks to MSE.

    Don't forget that the comps that you've entered may not have even finished yet. I had an unexpected prize turn up that today that I knew nothing about from a comp that ended on June 15th.....4 months ago!!!

    I can enter 10 comps in about 10 - 15 minutes? (I've entered 35 in the last 40 minutes)

    1) Read the comping guide

    2) Use Roboform or a similar form filler.

    3) Register on sites as you go. That way when new comps appear there you only have to log in and your details are stored there already.

    4) I use Firefox and open each new comp thread in a new tab. I tend to open about 5 or 6 at a time and then work my way through them.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    im quite up to date so i would say about 30-40 depends what i want to try and win!
    as from the above op , i do slightly different way, i open up 2 tabs and see where i left off, the go back 5 pages from that, click on the one i want to enter then press thanks suscribe then press previous! to go to the next comp! i find it easy tis way, but i never start from page 1 just incase the comp gets bumped and i get lost!

    hope this helps

    comps ending at the end of the month, i start around the 20th to make sure i get em done(just in case i missed any but i do that another way! lol!)

    hope this helps

    Only thing i can add is that i have a tab open on my e.mail site where i have a page with my name,address, e.mail and phone number saved in drafts. So i can then just copy and paste when i want to do an e mail.Saves alot of time :)

    I have my details set up as a signature, every time I open an email they're already there.
