    I am still hitting the thanks button along with the Enter button, both as a thank you for posting the comp, and also because I worry about the Enter button vanishing if I use a different display setting or during any upgrades/problems

    (Fab link Toni, thank you huni, xxx)
    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 :)

    I'm sure this has been answered before, but how many comps do you guys enter?

    I've only recently started comping and enter every single new one (that would benefit me, eg i don't have children so wouldn't enter for a free buggy and stop someone else getting it!). How long before you had your first win? :)

    I'm not being impatient because I know that you have to wait for the draws anyway, just interested :D There are some mega compers on here who seem to have won thousands!
    GC2012: Nov £130.52/£125

  • just enter as many as you can and you'll win eventually, it took me 2 months of entering comps every day to win but then I won a few comps at once, you've got to be in it to win it!

    What happens if you enter more than the 5 times stated? Does it effect your previous entries and disqualify you? Or are your 5 entries still Valid?

    Thank You

    N.B. Is this the right place to post questions or should this be in the compers Inn.

    Thanks.

    Hi ya

    I've asked this before and no noe seems 100% but the general belife is that your 5 entries are still valid. (I hope so i always manage to forget how many I've done - I should be able to count to 5 by now really!)

    And this forum is really only for posting comps, you should really ask either in compers inn, or in this case you could have asked in an ITV comp thread - this willl get moved tho, so no harm no foul - just don't make a habit of it! :P

    I enter until it says I've entered too much, then I move onto the next phone number (I use three in all to make 15 entries). Doing this I have actually won so it definitely doesn't count against you.:)
