    I'm not working at the moment (not through choice!), so I'm on here quite a bit every day, usually while sitting in front of the tv.
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    I work full time and have 3 boys, so tend to do comps early in the morning when no one is up and always love doing the postcard ones

    Today was my last day at work, so I'll have a lot of free time on my hands before I go to uni in about 3 weeks, should hopefully have a lot of time to enter comps! But before now I was working full time, and just managed to squeeze some in on my days off or before/after work if I felt like it. I agree with other posters that roboform, etc, is a godsend, though roboform doesnt agree with my browser :(
    Best wins: Tefal pan set, microwave, £500 shopping vouchers, £500 Princesse Tam Tam vouchers, £100 cash

    :T
  • I've not been comping long & have had a few wins now :j
    I work full time and try to log on each day, and do the ones that have been posted that day. If I miss some i'm not too fussed, and may catch up some other time if I can, but may not.

    I only enter the ones I really want to win or if someone I know would like!!

    Will have to try the form fillers, as I have been tapping away manually!

    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)...

    reason i'm here most of the day every day is i'm now retired from work,
    done my bit, worked from when i first left school, long time ago now :eek::rotfl:
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Work full time, leaving home around 8am and returning around 7pm. Try to squeeze in as many comps as I can, usually late at night after tea has been made and tidying up etc. Have been trying the Facebook ones more lately, but its left me no time to do as many as usual from MSE - will probably give up on Facebook soon, won nothing and seem to spend an awful lot of time voting for peeps :o

    I only usually do comps for things I want (most things lol), and I have been known to do the odd sneaky comp in my lunch hour in work (not too often though - not allowed!).

    Oh, and I have had a few nice wins over the years :D
    2015 wins: Nokia Lumia 735 Smartphone :D

    Heh was starting to think I was the only one with long shifts and trying to comp! I leave at 745 and get in around 7, make tea, eat and generally if I can, do a bit of days ending comping before bedtime. Most of the time however I find I can't daily comp anymore, and instead have to do them over the weekend (which doesn't involve much time!) so as you could guess my win ratio has somewhat decreased!

    I really don't know how people can do it! Maybe I better invest some time looking into this roboform thing...
    Comping since 08 - Back again for 2020!
