do you work?

1trainer1

just wondering as there are so many competitions and to me there never seems to be enough time to do them as I come home from work and get on the computer at about 8.00 in the evening for a few hours each day and there is no way I can enter that many competitions...

just wondering as so many people seem to be on here all day every day.....

if i didnt work then i would be here all day...but alas we have to work (not that im moaning like)...

i work full time as a train driver but i still manage to keep on top of them,there are a few things you can do to speed things up ie roboform or autofill,and keep your name and address in a document like notepad so you can just copy and paste when entering email comps,also i dont enter every comp as some are regional, good luck

Hiya 1trainer1, I work full time, I come home in the evening and do all the comps that are ending the next day then I go back to the first page and have a look through for a while. I always set aside more time for anything ending at the end of the month as these tend to be the highest volume I found Hope that helps.

thanks, I use Roboform which is a godsend....but the email comps are the ones that I never used to enter as I always thought what was the point with them.....but now recently I must have sent just over 100 emails on thursdya alone (day off) now I dont look for wins but just wait for them to turn up.......

i work full time and when im comping i can take up to two hours a day entering competitions, it is time consuming, i enter about 60 competitions a day ? i have had alot of spam emails in the past so i try to limit myself to magazine ones, the itv comps and ones i really am interested in

I work part time, and have 5 kids so usually I come here about 8pm, unless it's a day off while kids at school then I will come on then, I come on every night and catch up with all the ones posted since the night before, I rarely enter the dailies or monthly's unless it's something I really want, and only ever enter the ones with a prize that someone in the family would make use of. Although I thank every poster whether I enter or not.
Hope you find a system that works for you and good luck

I'm a student nurse so at the moment, as I'm on summer holidays, I have a lot of time on my hands so can enter lots of comps. When I'm at uni/on placement or assignment deadlines are looming, I dont enter so many. I have never been able to keep up with all the comps on here so I just enter as many as I can, as and when I feel like it!

I work full time and study on top of that too. I spend about two hours every night comping, just entering the ones which have been put on since I stopped comping the day before.

I had a few days off with the mumps which coincided with the release of the enter button, so I spent two days just entering comps and pressing the enter button on ALL the comps on here. Yep, all 200-odd pages!

Now, as long as I keep up with newly posted comps I don't need to go and enter them by comps ending in a couple of days time which is what I used to do.

Oh, and I use the full version of Roboform and have my email signature set up with my name, address, email address, phone number and DOB.

I do a few select dailies in the morning, and a very few select monthlies. And the odd postals too. And I find the time to post comps I find on top of that, albeit not many.

I work full time, I spent my lunch hour online tho at my PC and enter comps and copy and paste my info from a word doc. I only enter cops that have prizes I could use though. I enter comps at night too. I try to enter comps that will end within the next 2-3 days and then I don't worry about it for a few days.

Not won anything yet but just new!!

I work full time in two jobs and I am also doing my masters full time while keeping my fiance happy I manage to enter at least 100 competitions a day as I have incorporated it into my lifestyle. I might do them while watching things on tv or inbetween doing my research.
