ohh i get it, thanks

Hope this helps ,just keep entering over and over when you see the itv comps posted ,when you have entered how many times you are allowed it will stop you from entering by telling you that you have used up your entries for that phone number ,if you have a landline and mobile ,enter using both numbers ,some itv comps are 3 entries per phone number and others 6 or even 9

I've just had a missed call from Dennis Publishing. I also missed a call from them around a month ago. I've checked my settings with them, and have definitely opted out of marketing calls, so I was wondering whether it could have been a win? But then surely they'd have been in touch sooner for the second time. Has anyone had any marketing calls despite having opted out? It's annoying, because if you call back, there's just an automated message saying they'll call back soon (I wouldn't consider a whole month that 'soon'!).

From past experience it will be marketing, hope it's not, but they call for lots of different magazines.

I know this has been mentioned before, but can I ask again. I've only just managed to set up an MSE id on facebook for comping. As with other folks, my friends are also getting fed up of my comping "shares". Would any of you kind & like-minded peeps by my friend? Goish, that sounds sad!!!!!. I'm Coleen Allison MSE on facebook.

Thanks for your patience

If you search in the I Won board there's a whole thread about this.

Sorry - thought it was proper to Discussion thread. Have added to the thread you suggested.

Barnabysue

No asking the question here is fine, I was directing you to the thread where people who want friends on Facebook are posting.

Something that's been on my mind for a while - if you are on benefits (my son is disabled and I can't work until he gets a place in a residential school or funding for appropriate care) what kind of wins do you have to declare to the council? Not something overly worrying me right now to be honest, as all I've won this month is a coffee mug, a box of cereal and some Rice Krispie Squares:D But for example the comp to win a Citroen car, £1000 cheque and gadgets - I assume if you won that you'd have to declare it or they'd find out? I'm nervous of the big prizes, because though I've very little chance of winning anyway I worry they could jeopardise the little income we have if I did. Has anyone got in trouble for not declaring a win, to anyones knowledge? Thank you

Hi,I'm no expert on the benefit system but I think winning a car & tech stuff is fine & does not need to be declared.A big cash win would need to be as I think the limit for cash assets is £6k.For every £ over I think so much is deducted from a persons benefits.I'll try & get a bit more info.
For Income Support the limit of cash assets is £16k........... http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTaxCreditsAndOtherSupport/On_a_low_income/DG_10018708

I think you are fine with the majority of comps,including holidays comps.
