I think I'm back to being a full-time comper!

Hi,
I started comping 2.5 years ago and entered everything that I wanted to win consistently for 18 months. I won a few biggies (laptop, Ipod, TV, Blu Ray player) and a few hundred wee ones too. I've never had to buy mascara or body lotion since!
DH and I was on holiday in September 2009 when we suffered a family bereavement and I never really got back into my comping ways after that. I did dabble in the Glamour comp this year but never seemed to have the time of inclination to put in a couple of hours every evening after work.
However, I think my comping Mojo is back! I sat down 2 weeks ago and gave it another go. I've kept up to date with the new comps being listed and am working my way backwards through the older ones when I have time. It's not a chore and it gives DH some peace to play his PS3 too (I won that too lol).
Fingers crossed the WEM's start rolling in again and I'll be back to my Postie stalking ways too!
Now for the tricky bit - keeping up with the ironing and comping which I never quite figured out the first time round!
