hi peeps can you tell me if there is a way to list comps by closing dates?

When you are on the main board (where all the comps are listed) you then need to click on the 'end date view' button. It's about a third of the way down the page in orange writing.

Some on here will enter 200+ per day.I'm not sure but I do recall that in 2010 I entered about 20,000 comps over the year.This excludes Take a Break,Chat,Puzzler etc.
I've had some good wins,including two big holidays.Just look at each comp as a fresh start & enter in the hope of winning.

Wow!! I've done about 60 since this morning lol, fingers crossed!

^Thank you, I like yours too (aswell as your avatar pic! great film!) and agreed, the picture thread of the prize winners is really addictive too lol

If anyone could advise me on this I'd be really grateful as it's got me tearing my hair out! Since Sunday I have been receiving lots of text messages everyday, usually starting with 'Free Msg' and also phone calls everyday from two cold-calling companies asking to speak to a person I've never heard of. I tell them it's a wrong number and to take me off their list and an hour later I get another call! I've also tried sending 'stop' messages to the texts but that's not having an effect either. Has this happened much to other compers and short of abandoning my SIM card is there anything I can do?!

Thanks. I haven't seen the Swedish films yet but I've read the books and love them. I can't wait for the Hollywood versions to come out. Daniel Craig is so very right for the part of Blomkvist. Hehe.

Hey GO.

I get texts that start with FREEMSG and it's usually about compensation or sorting out my debts.*rolls eyes*

Are you a member of the TPS? If you join them that sometimes deters cold callers as they're not supposed to phone if you're a member of the TPS I think. I could be wrong though but I'm sure someone will correct me.:o

Hi everyone, newbie here, so please be gentle! :beer:

I've almost finished the competitions in Take a Break (TAB) magazine - the Autumn 1 Special issue and wondered if anyone already posts the TAB Special answers on a regular basis.

I understand (from a previous thread of mine) that there are members who post the weekly TAB answers regularly. That's fine if someone already posts the TAB Special answers, just wanted to know, so if anyone doesn't, I can then post them up for all you good people.

Thanks very much.

Pretty sure they're covered Claire so I'd hold off until someone who knows for sure comes along. I used to do them religously myself before I discovered this site, I wouldn't have the time now, so well done for doing it.

hi ladies and gents. Just a quickie.. i'm unsure whether to post on the main board.. Matchmaker chocs have a offer on them a free gift with every promotional pack (redeemed via a code on www.qualitystreet.co.uk) and also starting 05/09 there is a promotion on the quality street tins (£5 in sainsbury's) 5 prizes a day including tv's, bikes etc every day till the end of the year.. instant win by unique codes in packs but if all 5 for the day are not won they will do a random draw at end of day of those who entered during that day.. if i'm in the wrong place feel free to shove me in the right direction
I'll check back and see later, i'm burning my ears at the mo with capital now in my 9th hour of listening and no names called... argh!
