    I would like to know if there is any way I can see how many times I thanked people who post as this might give me an idea of how many competitions I enter.

    Also has anyone noticed thanks not sticking. I normally enter from two different computers and on some occasions it appears that the thanks don’t stick when I switch back to my other computer.

    Thanks

    If u sign in with same login twice, it will knock one off them off, as u can only be signed in once, i use tab counter in firefox, so when i open tabs in firefox, it tells me how many i have open, so i have a mental note of roughly how many i have entered. :)

    You need to give at least 28 days, some prizes have to be ordered or come direct from a manufacturer not the actual comp host xxx :)

    Any body know of any instant win competitions?
    If you do, please post them here.
    Thanks in advance and Good Luck all! :j

    No offence, but you've asked this a few times before. Do you read the replies?

    Most instant wins will be posted in daily comps. Any comps that particularly interest me I save to favourites in various folder, ie, instants, daily, purchase, etc.
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx

    I would certainly ask for clarification on this. Perhaps you could write to them on behalf of your "elderly" father (lay it on a bit so they put it simply), giving the reference on the letter, or maybe sending a copy of the letter to prove you have sight of the letter, and tell them he was very confused and thought he should receive £5000 for being the spot on winner, and could they please write telling him simply why he only received £2500.

    You can't lose by asking the question, and who know, your father may even gain out of it.

    It might also be worther sending a copy of whatever it is that gives the prize breakdown.

    Well we are more than half way through May and for the first time since I started serious comping in November last year I have gone a month without any wins (my last one was mid April).
    Hope this doesn't mean I've broke my streak and my winners luck has come to an end.
    I know some people go a lot longer than a month without winning but I'm so hooked on the excitement of it all that it doesn't matter about the size of the win (although I have had some fab one's) I just love winning emails and unknown packages arriving in the post :rotfl:

    Good luck to anyone else waiting for those elusive wins....
