    Ooh, cool idea. I'll do that too. So are we starting with competitions we win in 2007 or just any prizes that come in 2007 even if they were won in 2006?

    We could do it from when the prizes arrive? Sometimes they come months in arrears.

    Sounds good, as long as I know when to start adding :D

    Oh and another question, sorry. Are we only counting wins from online entries?

    I think I have edited my signature to show how much I need to win too...

    I think if we count offline entries such as postcard entries, phone comps in local papers it would be only fair to add in all we spend on stamps or costs of phone calls. What do you think?

    I used to enter a lot of postcard comps and won well in the past. However, last year my mum gave me £30 worth of stamps last Christmas as I wanted to start comping again. I didn't win back the £30 in prizes which was a surprize and disappointment. I had previously always won far more than costs.

    I am a single parent with a very demanding job, so find it too time consuming now to do postal comps very often. Tends to be only in my holidays.

    Also count costs of phone entry comps. Occassionally enter a few!
