I've just returned to work full time and I'm wondering whether I'll have to sacrafice my comping which is a real shame!

Just wondered for those who work, how many hours of comping do you get to do a day and is it possible?

    Its hard, no doubt about that, the thing I've found is you just have to let go a little, just enter when you can and dont put too much pressure on yourself to comp or you'll end up frustrated!

    Comping can BE a full time job, dont you think? Just keep going when you can and keep enjoying it!

    Good luck in your new job, Im sure it will bring you just as much satisfaction as a good comping day!

    Thank you! :)

    Not a new job unfortunatly, I've returned from maternity leave and my brain has forgotten everything I did so it feels like it sometimes!

    Nice to know it is still possible.

    I work full time and am lucky enough to have access to facebook and twitter during the day at work, so can enter them ones. Entering the ones on here isnt as easy. I try to do some when I'm watching tv in the evenings and tend to enter the next day ending.....which isnt so easy for month end! I try to do them ones on the weekend :) x

    I feel your pain! I work a bit more than full time because I'm doing a course which is 9-5 and then some. I manage to do them daily, generally... approx 30-40 per day (I do the ones ending e.g tomorrow). This is less than when I was a student so I probably win less which is a shame... can't compete with some of ya on here!

    Good luck though, it is manageable!
