PCL, I just added 2 daily FB comps to daily's thread as well, asking if anyone had time to check and post them.

Really think we could benefit from a FB & Twitter thread stickie.

have posted the toysrus one for you now

yep agree but unless andrea reconsiders no more stickies allowed....on main anyway, dunno about on regs...though i suspect a sticky with direct links in regs would just get anyone who posted in it moaned at for hiding comps away in there and not sharing them with everyone :rotfl:nothing new there then

@ amilucky thank you for posting the previous comp for me :T id only now be getting as far as doing it myself :rotfl:

it takes me hours each day to go through all these comps and enter them, mind you i dont usually enter the dvd ones very often. so i dread to think how long it takes the regulars to add the comps and then enter them and everyone elses. anyway a big thank you to all who post. i have tried to post some but when searching have found they have already been added to the lists. they are added so quick. just wondering how everyone finds out about all the comps? obviously i realise that there are certain people who post from different magazines regularly. still trying to get into a system of entering! heres to the comping fairy visiting me soon and everyone else!!!

ive never worked out how people find them so quick lol think some sites send out emails to some people before others so they get a bit of a heads up to go looking for new ones and post them.

luckily there is no requirement to post a certain number of comps on here to play so i dont worry about it too much if i find a comp and have time ill post it, otherwise i hope someone else does and i dont enter until i find it on here there are plenty of ways to help out even without posting so i dont feel bad for not doing my bit by posting comps regularly:o

I agree with you Mamzie a sticky for facebook & twitter would be a good idea. No-one needs to organize the comps, as they go too quickly, but to be able to put a link quickly would be great. By the time you manage to post one of these comps, they've finished. I'm usually pleased with myself when I manage to enter them, let alone post them as well.

the one day only comps only need posted once, in an ongoing thread (regs if no overall end date, main if there is one) which can then be updated as necessary by whomever see the new question/status/whatever first and cares to share. they can then be linked in that section of the dailies until such times as they cease to be run

many of the others do make it onto here but there are still a lot that get missed

Thanks for the update grannybiker :A - haven't heard a peep from them, but I'll enter them now safe in the knowledge I don't have to invent a story to tell!

Thank you for letting us know. No need to apologise.

Hope you've been somewhere nice, eg a nice cruise you won via a comp!

I've had 5 calls in the last 2 days from Scottish Power - usually I get a recorded message saying I've missed their call (NO - I picked up, you just didn't have anyone ready to talk to me!)

Finally someone was there when I answered it and he said this is from one of the John Lewis voucher comps way back in November....
They were calling from 0845 113 2233

I believe ITV usually call from 0207 numbers (not that I've won. Yet )
