    I do about 50 a day though it varies from day to day and how busy i am. Generally i only enter things i need/want or friend/family would like. Never enter on sites that i don't 'qualify for' ie. comps for kids, mother/baby sites, wedding sites etc as i'd feel bad winning on a comp that wasn't really aimed at me to begin with.

    I enter about 30-40 a day, but I only enter for things I want (I'd feel bad winning something I didn't want and depriving someone who wanted it a win)!
    I've been really lucky this month, but I've had months when I haven't won anything at all.
    Its always worth doing though, just for the surprise when a box you weren't expecting arrives at your door!
    :j Is MSE saving me money, or making me spend more on all the bargains?!:j

    I only started comping a week and a bit ago, but I've been entering anywhere from 250-450 a day, because I've been working my way from the very start of this thread :)

    Not won anything yet though! Oh, and I don't enter Mum & Baby ones or wedding ones, because neither apply to me :D

    At the moment I just do a search on end date and enter those closing in the next couple of days. I don't enter every comp (I feel a bit weird entering those from Womens mags/sites or local radio ones), but I probably do between 30 and 50 a day depending what comes up in the search. All the wins in my sig have come from the last 2 or 3 months, the last 6 coming in the last couple of weeks when I started using this forum in earnest.

    To do this, do you just type E:05/08 in to the search box?

    It varies from day to day how many I enter. I always do the daylies and weeklies and then the one's for the following day / 2 days so probably about 60 a day, but I only enter the the ones I want to win, or that I know friends/family would like.

    I also do postal, but only about 20 of these a week and again only for things I want to win.

    Lol I'm a student so at the moment I'm just at home alone with not much to do other than indulge my three hobbies: comping, reading and gaming! I entered 350 yesterday, keeping a running tally in my sig until I win :rotfl:

    I enter about 30 a day - maybe more if I get time, generally I filter and enter those that end the following day and only those that I want to win, either for myself or friends/family. I have been doing better recently, two wins this week, but it all varies.

    I work six days a week, so all depends on how much time I have of an evening!

    No, no! That would be extreme :D I've entered that many since the 29th of July :rotfl:

    Been sitting outside reading now you mention it, but I've been poorly so haven't been out as much this week :(
