This is great advice - I am currently so un-organised with my comping - haven't got a clue about searching by end date on here and have just followed your tip to create my own WIN folder which will hopefully fill up hehe! Are there any other buzzwords you use? I have filtered - congratulations and winner .....

I've also only got winner and congratulations this seems to cover most of them, may also be handy to direct some newsletters there that announce winners only in their newsletter if that makes sense?

thanks. I will try that. Can it only search for key words in the subject line, rather than in the body of the email?

I think the hotmail one only searches the subhects but it seems to work pretty well

Just wondering ...can anyone see their names in a site called 123people ....I see mine when I google my name but can't find it on the site... is it allowed for those to use/hold our names like that? Mine is quite unique so am sure it is me.

That's the net for you.I'm not sure on 123people but once google caches any info it will be there for a very very long time.Hence it is a bad idea to post personal info on forums etc.

Totally agree ...

Moxy

could we have a separate thread for postcard competitions and text? i only enter postcard competitions and lately have to trawl through pages of text competitions to find them

Moxy we've been told we can't have more 'stickies' so the text comps need to go with the postcard one, also sometimes you can enter via text OR postcard so they need to be together so you can choose which entry you want to use HTH x

Im not sure if this is the right place for this post but i have just set up a Twitter account for comping so as not to bore all my non comping friends with re-tweets but dont want it to be obvious that its a comping account and reduce my chances of winning. Sooo... if anyone out there has comping twitter accounts and wouldnt mind pretty please would you follow me? @sellybobs
