    This challenge shouldnt be too hard considering I won about £4500 worth of prizes last year. My internet connection costs me £14.99 per month so thats £180 I need to win.

    I was just thinking of the kind of comps posted on this forum. What does everyone else think?
    Yes I think it should be internet and postal comps only.

    I have just won a weekend for 4 in Scotland, plus £600 spending money, so I have covered my broadband costs only four days into 2007!

    Probably win nothing else now all year!

    I think maybe we need some confirmation of the actual rules on the first page you know.

    Here are the rules as I've understood them.

    Competition prizes arriving in 2007 are eligible to count towards goal.

    Only free, online competitions are eligible. If you used a stamp or a text then you would need to figure in your total outgoings spent on stamps and texts in order to win that one, so it's easiest just to stick to totally free.

    I think we should stick with free-to-enter competitions. So even if you got a free £5 bet or something then it's still cost something in virtual money so those things shouldn't count.

    One thing I'm unsure of is when to add them to our signatures. I've had a little win today but do I wait until it comes to add it? If not then I have another couple of things that haven't come yet that I can add.

    I will do an edit on the first page. I think notication of the win is good enough to add it. I am not going to France until July, but have added it in.

    Can I copy and paste some of what you have put above?

    I agree the comps should be free to enter with any costs on stamps, texts or phone calls noted.

    I'd also like to join please. I did really well in 2006, about £600 worht of prizes and that was my first year of comping. But I seem to have lost interest recently as its been a while since my last win. So this should hopfully spur me on.

    I think its roughly £200 a year for our broadband, so let the comping begin.

    Thanks
