    I had given up hope and finally i have won something. made my day
  • Hey Hi!

    Well, this is my 1st post, YAY!

    Sign me up for the comping challange, started yesterday =)

    I've been getting some kool ideas from here for a while, but havent really thought I could put much productive imput in the forum with out moaning about my money! But I found a great online store for getting cheap FrontLine for my kittys! At the same time I saw 2007 Comping Challange in someone sig ("P....." the thread starter actually) and figured since I kinda owe my ISP a couple of hundred £'s, maybe I should give this a try and get them paid off.
    Well, 1st impressions I got the feeling all cannot be true, google turned up not much in the way of competitions, I mean, its a hard thing to google for! After a couple of hours I got into the swing of things, got robo form, and have clocked up 100+ comps yesterday alone through one site....

    So really I'm just looking for some guidance as to where are good places to look, as I get the feeling some websites are a bit like the "Get paid for online questionaires...." thing, which I have never heard anything good about, where you just spend ages punching buttons into generated forms which mean nothing.

    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Target - £275 (to clear ISP bill), anything extra goes to the "19ninety's (finally down to) £6k (from £10k+) debt repayment fund". :D


    Be gone ebil debts!!

    I won a couple more things during August and September but have'nt had the chance to list them on here yet, so here goes.

    DVD = 'Leroy and Stitch' £9.00 (local paper)
    Last Harry Potter book £8.89 ( Internet comp - Sainsburys )
    A family ticket to a National Trust property of my choice for 2 adults and upto 3 children £15.00 ( rough guess ) ( Local paper )
    and a bag from £5.00 ( Text comp Morrisons / Hellmans )

    So that totals 37.89.

    my comping challenge was £360 / wins so far £282.24/ left to win £77.76.

    Still a way to go but a chance of completing. I'm off to do some competitions now :)
  • is it okay if i join?
    my broadband access with virgin media is £10 per month

    have won a reasonable amount in the past but it will be interesting to watch this thread.
    yearly access £120
    prize fund from today- £0
    here's hoping;)
    don't get downhearted if you don't win today-you may win tomorrow :cool:
  • Good luck, I covered mine in about 2 and a half weeks, think I have about 10 years worth now but then that's what happens when you have cheap old dial up!
    Started comps 7th August 2007 total for 2007 £1890
    had a break for a couple of months £835 / £2008 wins this month,

    Hi, ok, I just got a email saying I won something very serious, well for me.
    I have been considering laser eye treatment for a year or so, and was thinking of going for a consultation early next year.
    Anyway, apparently I have won a free consultation and £895 worth of treatment in November with Optimax (http://www.optimax.co.uk/).

    Is this just a routine email marketing thing that loads of people have received (as they're asking for a £60 deposit to secure the consultation) or have I really won a real prize?


    Thanks,


    Be gone ebil debts!!
